Great shots Heinrich. I especially like #2, #3, and #5. I notice these are similar to my squirrels except they have no long bushy tails like they do here. The coloring on them resembles Fox squirrels in Arkansas....another place I lived for many years.

Those are some exceptional squirrel photos! Looks like you were driving the poor squirrel nuts Heinrich

forensicscientist · 05-25-2010, 09:34 AM

He / She appears a tad bit angry.....

Any idea why?

Thank you but no he was not angry, just in the mood and calling for a mate. They make a bird like chirping sound by opening their mouth really wide. It is very short and it took a few tries to get a picture just at the right moment.

Take care,

Hi Mar and thank you, these have short tails that are not bushy at all and live in burrows.

Take care,

Hahaha I love these! Sharp and compelling, I like how it captures a very natural visceral feel.

**Sailor** · 05-28-2010, 05:37 AM

Outstanding, Heinrich. I don't know that I've ever run across with a squirrel with such an attitude. I'd give this guy (or gal) a wide berth.
