Beautiful detailed shots Timothy! That's a Douglas squirrel, the only one of the squirrels I really like.
Main food is conifer seeds. They snip off the cones and let them fall before the seeds are ripe and then extract and stash them. At my cabin I hear the cones hit the metal roof, sometimes starting at dawn, and find piles of the
discarded cone parts around the place.

Thanx! The natives around here call them Chicory after the one their vocalizations. Also called Chocolate Squirrels in New Mexico, Sacramento Mountains. The squirrels around us make their living largely from us.
