Cheeky Squirrel

Black squirrel

This cheeky squirrel climbed up the back of my husbands leg and over his shoulder to help itself to birdseed  that he'd been offering to chickadees.

I am linking to Madge's Weekly Top Shot.

We don't have black squirrels here. I've seen them in Colorado, though.

This is amazing. "Cheeky" is the right word. I tried to take some pictures of squirrels the other day at a local park and they were so skittish I didn't get one decent shot!

Lowell said...

How fun! I have only seen one black squirrel and that was in Colorado. Ours are all grey or red.

He is either very brave or very hungry.

So cute! It brings back memories of when I was a child and had a pet squirrel named "Charlie". He would climb up my dad's pants, sit on his shoulder, and dig peanuts out of his shirt pocket.

Now chipmunks, birds - I get, but this is the first time I have heard of a squirrel! Amazing!

That squirrel really is black! I think we just have gray squirrels in New England.

Cute... I hope he doesn't nip if the nuts run out! Great capture... Thank you for sharing on Weekly Top Shot #61!

Gee, the squirrel is not shy is he? Very tame and friendly. I have not seen a black squirrel in years.

I'm glad he posed so nicely after stealing his treat. I haven't seen many black squirrels.

How cuuute! Ya know, I've seen black squirrels in blogland, but never any here in southeast Missouri... we have gray & fox squirrels, but no black ones. How long did he sit there eating out of hubby's hand?
