Fox Squirrel

Lake Frederick, Virginia

Our fox squirrel is getting brave - 1st time I've seen him under our sunflower seed feeders. Had a request to put out a 'closer look' of what our Fox Squirrel looks like.
Went back to a year ago when I got this (very backlit) shot of him under one of our sunflower seed feeders. I really 'admire' his front 'hands'.
We also have squirrels that are gray and some totally black; but they are approximately half the size of this fox squirrel.

I love this close-up. It's a fatty squirrel which looks nicely grumpy. Goof find and excellent photo

I've never heard of this species. A great photo of it and its size would be striking.
