squirrelly

whole, complete, live squirrels this time!

so, i thought after my last post, i should lighten things up a bit. in that spirit, here are some live squirrels doing what they do best, which is apparently eating, jumping, and defying gravity on the sides of tree trunks. enjoy.

UPDATE: i just found out that the gray squirrel is north carolina's state mammal. (drop that little tidbit of useless trivia at your next social gathering and watch the party come alive…)
i also just noticed that the tree trunk in the second-to-last image lines up perfectly with the line of the squirrel's back in the image below it, as though he was an extension of the trunk. weird.

I browsed in to your blog via the Natureblogs list and I must commend you on these wonderful photos! That titbit about the gray squirrels is sure to come handy as well!

The bird on my new header is a Common Yellowthroat Warbler.
