S is for Squirrel Babies

33 Comments

Just to set the record straight before you read and look at the photos – these are the baby squirrels from a couple of years ago. There were no babies this year that I know of.

 

“Come on, you guys! It’s lonely at the top.”

“Let’s wrestle.”

“We need a referee.”

“You go down and tell him to come up while I find a referee’s chair for him to sit on up high.”

“Aw, come on! Stop playing hard to get.”

“I don’t want to be referee. It’s too boring.”

“Let’s play tag instead.”

“You’re it.”

S is for squirrel babies.

    Always fun watching the scampering squirrels. Can’t say I’ve ever been lucky enough to see the babies. Happy Thursday Anneli. Allan

    Do you know which species these are? I thought at first they were our gray squirrels, but the white area around the eye is much larger. No matter the species, they’re cute as can be. This is the stage I usually miss seeing, since the youngsters don’t seem to wander around here until they’re larger.

      Red squirrels is what we have. There are also Douglas squirrels that look similar, but their underparts are a pale rusty orange. They are definitely not the larger gray squirrels (which also come in black). The gray squirrels are much bigger than the red squirrels and will kill them. I am not a fan of gray squirrels for that reason.

    I love how happy they look. Squirrels will never be the same here in America.

    I could sit down by the wood pile and watch them for the whole day. They are so cute! Our squirrels look different. They are brown to slightly orange and don´t have any white on them.
