Grey Squirrel

 

Just to prove that all of our Eastern Grey Squirrels aren't black I thought I would post this handsome grey one spotted by Trinity College at U of T. They are greatly outnumbered by the black ones but they are around. I always thing the grey ones have bushier tails than the black ones.

Taking part in Saturday's Critters. Click HERE to see more creatures from around the world.

Cute photo. This one looks very much like the ones we have here.

We also have gray squirrels, and the occasional red squirrel. You caught this handsome fellow in his environment. We work to try to keep squirrels out of our bird feeders.

It does seem like that about the tails.

A trick of the camera I think, but the tail looks flatter.

That grey fellow looks wonderfully plush and proud, a soft reminder that a bit of rarity makes the sighting even sweeter.

Cutie alert again, although this squirrel is striking a rather peculiar pose.

Feels like we have more grey ones here.

They are so fast and difficult to photographe. Respect!
