Field Notes

Description:

This one let me get SO close, though was playing hide and seek around the tree. I would walk around the tree and he would climb on the other side. As soon as I would catch up to him he would strike a pose for me. He eventually ended up NOT climbing the tree and just running of through the grass. He was the most personable squirrel I have ever seen.
