I just love those dark red faces, pale gray and white bodies and bellies, and super fluffy tails. And they're pretty fat now, too, which can only mean extra cuteness:
Incidentally, we had our first snow of the season yesterday, and it was a pretty significant one (several inches of dense stuff), although it's quickly melting already. I love the way everything looks in the snow, and I'm hoping this winter will be a snowy one!
Love those fat fuzzy squirrels! They keep us amused all winter as they foil our attempts to keep them out of the birdfeeders. Actually, I don't mind feeding the squirrels, we just like to give them challenges and watch how they always manage to overcome them. Your squirrels have the reddest faces I've ever seen on a Gray Squirrel. Almost as if they had some Fox Squirrel in them.
ReplyDeleteI agree, the red faces look really strange! (These two pictures are actually of the same squirrel, but I've seen a few around here that look like this.) And I haven't noticed it so much in our local squirrels before now, so I'm assuming it has to do with their winter coat. Squirrels are indeed fun to watch, and I love your idea of giving them challenges to overcome. :P
