Pine Squirrel
Pine squirrels, Tamiasciurus species, are small tree squirrels with bushy tails. The name Tamiasciurus comes from the Greek "Ταμίας" "Σκίουρος" for "hoarder squirrel".
The American red squirrel should not be confused with the Eurasian red squirrel, Sciurus vulgaris — both are usually just referred to as the "red squirrel" in their home continents.

Isn't he a handsome critter!!! I'm sure if I had sat on this fellow it would have scared the living daylights out of me. Quite a presence of mind to photograph him. Well done! Have grand day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet creature!
ReplyDeleteCute squirrel photos, but I have a feeling that he's more a rascal than he is sweet. Lol
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute, maybe he was upset you did not offer food? Cute photos and mosaic! Have a happy week ahead!
ReplyDeleteHe is cute, but looks like he thinks you invaded his turf. Those are pretty big feet and claws on such a little guy too.
ReplyDeleteOh he is such a sweetie - looks very nosey!
ReplyDeleteWe don't have squirrels in my far flung corner of the world but I've seen them on my overseas travels.
They move so fast!
I imagine he's on 'food storage mode' with Autumn in the air!
adorable little sprite!
ReplyDeleteCheeky little fellow Gayle, thanks for sharing him at Mosaic Monday.
ReplyDeleteOh he is a cute brazen fellow!
ReplyDeleteThe boss is hollering at you! They are so funny! Cute pictures.
ReplyDeleteThat would make a great 'caption this' photo. Who me? he seems to say.
