Camera Critters - Feeding My Squirrel Buddy


Though we are not suppose to feed the squirrels at the gardens, it is always something I enjoy. After all, they do need "good eats" every once in a while. This particular day I brought honey roasted nuts. There were not as many squirrels around as usual, maybe because of the hot weather. So, when I found this little guy in one of the demonstration gardens I decided to let him have the entire bag. He was a bit afraid of me at first but when I piled the nuts in front of him we became instant friends. He even let me take a short video clip of him which you can see below. He was a cutie.

Too funny, Jo, my post today was also about the squirrels. This one is great!!
There are no squirrels in New Zealand. I am amazed the way his tail curls to shape his back.
You give out good treats. I'd follow you around too. Great capture.

Very cute and he seems to be thoroughly enjoying those nuts! We have two squirrels that live in one of the trees in our backyard. They're so fun to watch as they run around the garden.
We have squirrels everywhere! They have plenty of natural food to eat in our backyard, so we try hard NOT to feed them.

I am going to tell on you! LOL. I think sometimes they say that to the protect the animals from people feeding them stuff they could die with. Love the candid shots.

What a cute little fellow. I hope, the entire bag of nuts will not make him sick.
You are so lucky that he posed for you for this lovely little video.
