Very cute indeed! Very typical of a fox squirrel. They usually forage on the ground. Happy squirrel day!
It sure is! the Huff Post Green said "It's that time of year again. No, January 21 is not just the start of excessively premature Valentine's Day ads, it's also Squirrel Appreciation Day. What a nutty holiday."
cute spotting ...
He was so much fun to watch Emma! He didn't have any trouble finding food (obviously) at the park :)
