Fox Squirrel

This is my first Fox Squirrel. They are quite hard to find and they are twice the size of a regular squirrel. The shooting conditions were not great as it was pretty overcast.

He was rather curious.

He was far up a pine tree eating the seeds from a pine cone I believe.

Pat thats a cool little bugger. In all my trips to Fl I was never able to see one. Their range is south of New England. Ive always wanted to see them. The overcast may have helped you with his pic though. Dark colored fur always seem to hold more detail in the lower light.

I have only seen a handful of them myself Al and I have lived in Fla most of my life.
