Field Notes
Description:
A very tame squirrel who approached me as I was eating a gala apple. I shared the apple with him; he would come up and grab a piece from my fingers. After receiving a piece he retreated back several feet and kept an eye on me while he ate it. After he finished he would approach slightly hoping for another piece.
Habitat:
There is green space and trees in between office buildings at Allegheny Center in Pittsburgh. Many people take their lunch breaks there, but I was the only person out in a light drizzle.
