This is a first for me. I didn't even know this kind of squirrel existed. I love that blonde tail. Great looking shot, Laura.

Well isn't that something...never seen one like this before...certainly a 'pony-tail' to be envied by the other squirrels...good for you capturing this rare sight.

Wow...a blonde tailed squirrel!....Never knew of those!...

I can visualise this being like a 'pony-tail' (English word) on a blonde girl!...

Looks like she!..is giving you all her attention too!...

This is definitely a female Laura. The tail is tastefully coloured - not too much, not too little. Vry nice find and capture!

Excellent shot Laura nicely done.

Now this would be a neat thing to see,I'm glad you got a capture of this one, very unique, good shot Laura. tigs=^..^=

Laura - I think this squirrel is nuts, or going after some, at least. Some years ago, a friend had a squirrel running on his roof and rain gutters, waking the family up every morning in the wee hours as it scurried for acorns and ate them noisily in the gutter. Being a gentle soul, my friend put a have-a-heart trap on the roof, captured the squirrel and took it four miles to the banks of the river to free it. Of course, that night, a squirrel was on the roof and in the rain gutters. He trapped it, brought it to the river bank and freed it. After five or six days of this, he started to think the squirrel was looking very familiar. So, on the next morning, with the squirrel in the cage, he spray painted the tail bright orange, and repeated the trip to the river. Sure enough, there was the orange tailed squirrel in his have-a-heart trap the next day. The little squirrel traveled the four miles each day, returning to its home, to be trapped again and again. That day, the squirrel was transported across the river and freed, likely to torment a family in a new house - but with a bright orange tail.

Thad's tale was very interesting. It sounds like something a Blonde Tailed squirrel would do--keep getting caught in the same trap.
I wonder if it sings "Happy Birthday Mr. President," to the leader of the homeowners association.

I loved Thad's story about the squirrel - LOL. This is so unique Laura - I've seen black and albino squirrels but never one like this - excellent and enlightening capture.

Very nice capture of this little squirrel and its unusual coloring.

I find the light tail very interesting.

this is true i have seen more then more of this in my 15 years of living here out in the country side.

actually seen one red fox with a white tail...or was that a whitetail deer with a red fox chasing it? huuumm some times i get confused living out here..lol!

Wow, you sure were lucky to see this unusual blonde cutie. Great capture and looks like his body is lighter then most, super find and capture. Good thing you had your camera handy

Unique little squirrel Laura - great capture. Cute, the way he is eying his photographer.
