Day 166…the gatherer

Welcome to day 166 of  365 photos…I dubbed this young eastern gray squirrel “the gatherer”. I had to chuckle when I saw him standing under the feeder on his hind legs with “arms” filled with bird seed. The look on his face looks like he is trying to figure out how he can get even… Continue Reading
