The grey squirrel is an example of a successful invasive species, having all but wiped out our native red squirrels (there are a few pockets of reds, but swathes of the country haven’t seen them for decades). So it is in the south. We have grey squirrels. Tonight one came out just as the sun was low in the sky, producing beautiful golden red light.
And just to keep things ticking over, here’s the dog fox from a few minutes ago.
Camera note: all squirrel photos taken with the Canon 7D Mark II and EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM lens. I used the EF 200mm f/2.8L II USM lens for the fox.

3 Sep 2016Oh, ok. We have them a lot over here. Last week we were hiking on one of the islands in Howe Sound and I read on line that they still have native Douglas squirrels, now extinct in most of the main land. We didn’t see any but we heard them.

4 Sep 2016I think you have a greater variety in North America. We just have two.. the grey squirrel and our native red (which is smaller, and has nice tufts on the ears).
