I like the way he also appears to be looking at the camera while he drinks. You're being watched Capt.
It seems unusual to me to see a Gray Squirrel with patches of another color. The Grays here abouts, are 100% gray, and the Black Squirrels are 100% black, only the Red Squirrels have spots of another color. Ours, none of them, are so well trained too drink from a dish. Cute picture. Tom
That is an eastern fox squirrel. Light brown on his back with a reddish underside. The old ones can get up to 2 lbs. each. I used to hust them when I ws a kid. Really good eating, except for picking out the buckshot!
