SQUIRREL

I went for a day drive to Shuswap Lake Provincial Park, just outside of Chase, BC. I was watching a different squirrel in a tree just ahead of me and then I saw a shadow right beside me. I was standing about a foot away from this squirrel and didn’t hear it at all. If I didn’t see the shadow I wouldn’t have seen the squirrel.

SQUIRREL

I saw this squirrel in a tree at a campground in Trail, BC. He was quite busy collecting nuts and storing them for winter. I have noticed a lot of squirrels on my travels throughout BC. This squirrel, I believe, is a pine squirrel and you can tell that by the redness of his fur.

RED SQUIRREL

I saw this red squirrel eating some pine cones on the ground at the Paul Lake Provincial Park. I didn’t get too close to this squirrel or spend too much time around him because he seemed to be a little sickly. He was missing a big patch of fur on his back. This might have been due to fleas or he may have had a case of rabies. Either way, I didn’t really want to find out.
