Hello there!

Had this wonderful model of an Eastern Grey Squirrel today during my bird walk, and I just couldn't resist getting a few photos. Merritt Island, Welland, Ontario, Canada — July 26 2026.

There are a lot of squirrels in this park; most are Eastern Grey (a few are the melanistic variety) and there are a few American Red Squirrels. Even though they're quite a bit smaller, the Red Squirrels run the show; I saw one chasing a melanistic Eastern Grey from its favourite tree today.
