I’ve had so much fun working on this American Red Squirrel that came to visit in our backyard in the Fall of 2025. He (she??) made me smile. So inquisitive. So busy. So fast. Stopping briefly to study us. Our dogs were beside themselves with excitement to see an actual squirrel on at our new home!!! (Didn’t we leave them behind when we moved???) How exhilarating for our pointing dogs! Craziness for us though with our dogs riveted to the squirrel's every move!
A note about Squirrels… When we moved from northern BC to the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island, we were so surprised (and relieved hahahaha … I’ll explain that in a moment) not to see squirrels in the area. We have seen one here and there on our trail walks in the past couple years but it’s a rare sighting…. That is until this fellow showed up in our backyard this past Fall. And true to our expectations, our dogs went crazy excited and barked 😳 and the reason for the relief not to see squirrels around 😂 Thankfully our dogs are older now (and wiser 😉) and as excited as they are to spot this fellow it wasn’t quite as wild as when we lived in rural northern BC.
I was able to get several photos of him while he was visiting and found it amazing how he can hang out sideways and not fall. Such a busy little curious fellow.
