A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Thanks Nopayahnah! I have recently seen these birds in the area, but it is the first time I have seen them.
It was.......just a little breezy today but not bad. I looked up to notice this one at the last min. as it quickly flew away.
Thanks! I turned around and there they were
Watched this mamma as she fed her baby. She would pick up the seeds and put them in the baby's mouth even tho the baby was able to pick up some seeds on it's own.
My guess is that this Squirrel is leucistic. Leucism is a condition characterized by reduced pigmentation in animals. Unlike albinism, it is caused by a reduction in all types of skin pigment, not just melanin. Leucistic animals have normal eye color, but a paler coat or plumage. Based on the color, I'm guessing this is a red squirrel and not a grey one.
Thanks! I'll look them up.
Thank You!
Thank you Alice!
