Abert's Squirrel

Sciurus aberti

Notes:

There were 4 of these little black squirrels running around our property. I've added a video - they would grab a piece of corn and go about 5 feet away and bury it! It was adorable!

Thanks so much, Daniele!! They were fairly cooperative this time...I usually only see one and they usually run off immediately! I got lucky!

Great series Christy! One of my favorite squirrel species. Those ear brushes! You're lucky to have these squirrels in Colorado!
