Not on a magic perch like in my bird shots, but these guys are sure cute, and I can't help taking a few shots while I'm out photographing birds.:D

In board daylight? How did you get the shots so clear without blowing areas? Awesome pictures

They are quite shy, and will run up a tree when seeing people. I was sitting in my chair in the woods at the water hole, and these guys always come down to drink. They live up high in the pine trees and need those claws for climbing. Thanks for the comments.:D

Thanks, they are my favorite squirrels around here, these are way off in the woods away from people. So, I think they are quite curious when seeing someone. :D
