Putting On Weight Before Winter


It has been fun watching the antics of the squirrels as they feed on the keys found on the Manitoba Maple trees just off my deck. They seem to spend most of the day out there. Usually there are 2 black squirrels and 1 grey one and they each grab their own area for snacking. All 3 of them are juveniles so their fur is in great shape and the black ones are very black as you can see in this shot.

  1. I am given to understand that the black squirrels are really gray squirrels. It’s just that they’re black. This comment has nothing to do with your post. 😀

  4. Hello:=)

    It is always fun to watch squirrels. Here I only see red ones, but whatever their colour, their cute behaviour is entertaining.

  6. The black squirrels are so beautiful...nicer looking than our grey squirrels. We are watching ours digging up the yard to bury nuts!

  7. Never seen a black one. Ours are all out and about as the weather here is still exceptionally mild.

  11. I'm not sure if we have the black grey squirrels here in the UK.It may be just a North America variation.
