I was out in the woods today near a man made water catch system and Squirrels were everywhere. They are very curious, yet skittish if you move. Cute little buggers! The one with the ear hair is an older squirrel.

I know I've seen them somewhere before. Perhaps in Colorado? I'm not sure how large their range is, but I wish we had them up here in WA. "Your" and "you're" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.

I especially like #1 of the mature squirrel with the "ear hair". Thanks Tom, I was wondering if these are really bad or that people in the wildlife section don't like squirrels. I was out today again and more shots of squirrels, and birds too! Really curious guys, they will come down the tree within 4 feet of me as long as I sit still. Fun to watch them! Steve

Lots of large pines for them to hang on to. One came down today and hung at head level about 4 feet from my face. He looked me over for about 10 minutes, they are skittish in the woods and will not eat people food. ( Seeds, peanuts, etc. ) Steve
