Squirrel Sunday - Chilling by the Lake
Here are a few squirrels I spotted this Sunday.
I saw this guy on a top of a telephone pole on my way to the lake.
It was busy bringing some walnuts up to the top to slowly husk. These walnuts are super thick and it takes them forever to get past the shells.
At the lake I noticed a squirrel standing sort of weird looking for acorns.
Now that I have processed the photo I realize why it is standing so weird. Looks like it got into a fight with another squirrel and has bite on its leg.
Fortunately the bite didn't seem too debilitating as this squirrel was fine running up and down the tree.
Off in the weeds I heard an constant chirping. Looks like this chipmunk is declaring this sector his territory.
He didn't even budge as I walked closer for a second shot.
Now for a duck shot. I didn't see any rare ducks by the lake but did find this juvenile molting mallard. Soon his head will be fully turquoise. For now he is just an immature acne teenager to the other ducks lol.
That's all for now, hopefully I can find some flying squirrels some day to post for #squirrelsunday :-)
What a beautiful tail a squirrel has! A miracle!
Good for use as a parachute when falling out of trees.
Haha, and I think they enjoy doing that!😄
Or maybe it escaped another predator that wanted to feast on it.
Maybe it escaped from a hawk or owl talon trying to grab it.
Yeah!
If only I could have caught that action on my camera.
This squirrel sunday post has chipmunks and a duck in it. Disqualified!
;)
Duckqualified lol
Dischipmunkyduckified! :D
If it walks like a duck quacks like a duck its a squirrel.
Excellent shots, congrats!

Thanks, fortunately these guys are an easy target on my walks.
Really? Our squirrels are very shy.
Have a great week.
These ones live in a park next to houses that probably give them treats all the time so they are very tame. Some will even take peanuts from your hand.
We don't have squirrels in an urban setting here and although they are cute, that's probably a good thing
We have quite a few here I've seen them even in downtown chicago, probably better than all the giant rats that come out at night there lol.
We have the giant rats too and it's quite common to see them squashed on the road, ugh. Squirrels can be quite a pest in gardens, although I don't know how often they are caught by cats
The cats would need to be pretty tough to catch these fox squirrels, they are quite the ninjas. Hawks on the other hand have no problem getting them from the air.
I have some squirrel cats haha, they run up and down trees
Lovely squirrel shots and they are darker than our grey squirrels here.
No idea where you would flying squirrels though.
!BEER
Yeah we have a kind of orange fox squirrel here and a gray one. The flying squirrels are hard to find because they are nocturnal and tiny. I would have to go out at night with a huge flashlight looking up in the trees. They are barely bigger than a hamster.
Fascinating video and so great to watch. Thank you.
The only reason I know they exist around here is because my boss had some in his attic and he managed to trap them with a have a heart trap. They were too smart for any other trap fortunately.
Like I said, I loved that video and called my wife to also watch it.
The only thing that we have here in flying rodents are the Giant fruit bats and I have posted them before.
!BEER
Haha those fox bats look like a miniature pincher with wings.
That they do my friend. 👉👍👈

There are so many styles of that squirrel that you can take pictures of.
Perfect picture.
I just need a picture of the nocturnal flying squirrel.
Yeah...
I have never seen a squirrel before, I don't think they are much in my country. He seems pretty brave, I like it.
They are all over the place here, they are also very smart and can navigate various obstacle courses.
