Sciurus carolinensis
Dumbarton Oaks Park, Georgetown, is not surprisingly squirrel paradise. This guy was busy hiding nuts away for the winter. Not photo shy!
City parkland.
The same park had quite a few of the melanistic variant of the grey squirrel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_squir...

I love them too Marketa! I actually have a folder with 250 squirrel pictures; Noah administrators will be horrified... ;-)
I love these animals
Agreed Alice. Pic was taken in November and he looked ready for winter.
Looks well-fed.
