Field Notes

Description:

This Eastern Grey Squirrel demanded to have his picture taken. When I did not notice him at first, he threw a date (he is in a date palm) at the ground near my feet to get my attention. (I'm assuming his aim is not just bad.) Then he posed in these very innocent looking poses.

Habitat:

Spotted in a suburban coastal area in the tropical south.

He hasn't thrown anything lately. I guess he is happy now. Of course, he does rustle the fronds. Wouldn't want me to forget that my best model is up there...

Haha, what a great model! That's so cute :) The squirrels near my house like to throw acorns at me when I come past... maybe they want me to get my camera out! This is adorable Sarah, love it :)

Thanks! It must have been the height (and his many escape routes) that made him happy to pose.
