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.

    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!

    wow, never had a squirrel do that to me...probably would scare me and I would scream and then he would run off never to be seen again. Great shot!!

    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.
