I’ve featured black eastern grey squirrels before. They’re particularly attractive subjects in the fall with the autumn leaves as backdrop. These squirrels are usually skittish. Although he kept a watchful eye on me, nothing was going to disturb him from his snack. As winter was fast approaching and food was harder to come by every bite counted.

I don’t wish to seem rude …. but …. he/she (?) looks to have one or two snacks too many! 😀
Great photos!

He was a bit of a messy eater, too. Perhaps he needs a bib?

He does look great with the fall foliage on the ground. I really like the second picture of it. He looks chubby, and fluffy; ready for winter. 🙂
We have one black squirrel that runs around the yard and trees all the rest are gray.

I think everyone loves squirrels (I mean people). I’m sure the birds don’t love them. But they are such lively creatures, and we tend to love little animals that have fur on them for some reason. If they wouldn’t bite me, I’d love to cuddle one.

It’s interesting to watch their behaviour change according to the season and food availability. Always full of personality.

When I’ve gone mushroom picking, they often sit out of reach and scold me for being there.
