Getting Ready for Winter

Today, I went over to the local college where sometimes I find a few squirrels to photograph. Today they were all over the place! Here are about a fifth of the pictures I took during my hour on campus

Thank you.
I probably enjoyed taking the third one the most, as she chewed away on lunch while instinctively balancing on the back of the bench.
The fourth one is kind of interesting as she tries to get enough of a scent to figure what is going on.

Those squirrels look very healthy. Nice Brown coats and bushy tails. And body mass indicates they are well fed. Squirrels that I have seen in California don't look like your photos taken. They are smaller and have a grayish coat instead of brown. Nice photos too.

Yeah, different species. These are fox squirrels - naturally the largest squirrel species; I believe their natural habitat is forest areas that border non-forest, which is what Indiana has become. With the exception of rare dry years, this area is very fertile, with lots of things for the squirrels to eat.Those squirrels look very healthy. Nice Brown coats and bushy tails.

What a cute series of squirrel photos. I think they are so cute. I sometimes see a couple chasing each other across my balcony - my cat is intrigues by them.

Last February I photographed that kind of thing.

After looking at those pictures, my wife decided it was some kind of mating ritual.
