The Eastern Gray Squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) is a tree squirrel that is native to the eastern to midwestern United States and the eastern provinces of Canada. The Eastern Gray Squirrel makes a variety of noises, including a loud screeching, a "buck buck buck" sound and a chattering, often followed by "kyukyukyuuuu". They make these noises to communicate with other gray squirrels, and sometimes they make noises during mating.

What a superb shot - his little ear is almost transparent. Beautiful clarity and a perfect pose - He looks very curious. Is the grass greener on the other side of the fence ? :)

A cute little guy and a wonderful closeup. Your descriptive last phrase would describe humans, in many instances, as well.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

Haha, cynlee ! I am quite the squirrel fan and really appreciate this shot ! I've also noticed that they have one alarm call for predators such as cats,dogs,etc. and another very high pitched call for aerial predators such as hawks.
This is a great shot capturing their curious and watchful manner and it's very clear with a good pose on the fence!

Is this your back garden again? His fingers ( is that what their called?)look so long. Great shot. There is a kinda debate here as the grey squirrels are killing the smaller native red squirrels over what to do about the big greys.

very cute squirrel and it must have been hard to get that shot without the squirrel moving. Great Job!

What a great pose you caught this guy in. He seems to be unaware of you and you're certainly aware of him. Outstanding clarity and composition, Randy. Right into faves.

I won't be uploading images until my computer comes out of its sudden death coma. I am commenting using a shared machine that doesn't have PhotoShop or my images on it. I'll let you help me tear my hair out.
