Life is Wild

February 22 & September 4 are National Wildlife Days.

If we cannot help them, then at least let's not do anything that can hurt them.

However, I feel it's fair to give a cheeky squirrel a squint eye if it's chattering at me, or begging through my windscreen.

Whew

Today, I am thankful that this lump of fur that I spied while walking...

...only turned out to be a lost mitten!

It's heartbreaking to see squirrels or other critters who've been bested by motor vehicles, but this time was a false alarm.

Here's a cheeky very-much-alive squirrel image, also taken while in the 'hood. 

We have nine squirrel species in Michigan, but the three that we see the most in our yard are the Eastern Fox Squirrels, Eastern Gray Squirrels that are gray with a white tummy, and Eastern Gray black morphs like my friend above.
