Thank you Becky for the inspiration to dig out my squirrel photos from our Tampa trip in January, 2020. It was our last trip down there before the pandemic. We are hoping to go down to see the kids and grandkids in May after we get our second shot. It has been over a year since I’ve seen them.
This squirrel was not shy and got right up near where we were birding at Lettuce Lake Park in Tampa, Florida. Certainly made me turn my attentions to him (looks like a him, ehum…)…anyway, he was like…”look at me; I’m posing nicely for you. How about a profile?”.
…or maybe a front shot?

Yes he was! It seemed to be the whole purpose for him to come over to where we were. It wasn’t like we had food or anything. 🙂

I think a lot of us are going to be digging out bushy tailed squirrels. 🙂
How did you train your squirrel to strike the perfect poses? 🙂

I think so too! He was just friendly and I got lucky! He saw the camera and was jealous of the birds. LOL! 🙂

He needs an agent – he could be a top model! I hope you get to see your family soon.

Yeah, I wasn’t scared but thought about how they carry rabies. I think was caught up on my rabies shot at the time. LOL! 🙂

That’s good to know about the rabies; we’ve got lots of squirrels in our yard…

They are a carrier. It doesn’t mean they have them. Same thing with racoons. I’ve had friends who had them as pets and was fine. 🙂
