Oh this is adorable- in the pics you can see excellently that our squirrels here are smaller than the US (of course ) - they are in between chipmunk and squirrel size.

Sara, Shirley looks so cute! Has she been your pet?


My sister, who visited the United States last year, has also told me that the squirrels there are much bigger, and of a different color.

Sara, Shirley looks so cute! Has she been your pet?

In 2003 and 2004 (when we were still living in Chicago) I made a number of posts about Shirley. She - and her family - lived in our yard and I could feed her by hand. (As did Barbara when visiting!) Unfortunately, the photos I had posted were on Imagestation...

Sounds cute! And it's great that Barbara had a chance to see her!

Did you lose her pics when ImageStation went down? That would be too sad!

The squirrel sure is cute and a beautiful color too. I used to live on the east coast and I was always used to seeing grey squirrels. Now that I'm living on the west coast there are a lot of black or very dark brown squirrels and there seem to be very few of the grey ones.

Thanks for sharing these great pictures, Kirsten. Around here there are a lot of squirrels running around collecting provisions for the winter.
