Squirrel/ Camera Critters

Squirrel snacking on tree seeds

When I first arrived, there was a family of squirrels in this tree. The rest took off when they saw me. I'm thinking this must be a young,  inexperienced squirrel!

To join in the fun, visit Misty Dawn at CAMERA CRITTERS.

  8. One animal I don't see much up here in the woods are squirrels, although on occasion I will see a Douglas Squirrel but in a flash they are gone. Little guys. MB

  9. Perhaps he was just so hungry that he thought he would risk having that human with a camera on his nose looking at him. ;) Seriously, it's a great image! Good catch.
