A squirrel on silly Tuesday. This squirrel leaps from a bush onto my window ledge and hangs there until I throw out some peanuts. It has become quite a daily event. I'm not sure whether I've trained him, or he's trained me to do this! :-)
Maybe he is looking for the Squirrel Peanut Butter.

Good morning Don,
It is a beautiful and fantastic close-up. 10 stars ********** The view of the squirrel, is very interested and attentive. I also think that you and the squirrels have become very good friends and keep each other busy. In our region, squirrels have a reddish-brown coat color. But I think that there are different species. I'm happy for you that the squirrel, you visited daily. This morning, looks out the sun, but the outside temperature is still cool. I think that there are about 13 degrees Celsius, as in the last days. Thanks for the mail. It made me very happy. Answer will come at weekends. I wish you and your family a beautiful sunny day and all the best.
Dear greetings Christel

Perfect catch of such a familiar pose . . they sure know how to communicate !

He's definitely trained you Don. You got a nice close up for peanuts though:)

I remember a cartoon of a mailman at the door dropping mail and a dog barking fiercely on the inside. They share a thought bubble: "You'd think he'd learn after all this time..."
So perhaps you and your squirrel share a mutual opinion of your handouts.
Cute shot of the little guy.

Since you're buying the peanuts, Don, I think it would be you who has been trained -- great photo.

Fantastic this grey squirrel ! I seen the same around Montréal. Beautiful eye !

A great photo and a nice story! I had a sparrow that did the same!

They can be quite 'cheeky' once you start feeding them, I had one that would hop right into the kitchen. Great close-up.
22 Jun 2010 7:24pm
sounds like he's trained you. :-) fine capture of him.
22 Jun 2010 8:06pm
What a pretty wide-eyed face. Wonderful capture.
22 Jun 2010 8:47pm
Oh, he has you trained...not you training him. They are almost as bad as cats.
22 Jun 2010 9:04pm
:)) oh, lovely shot, its very nice and love its eyes!
22 Jun 2010 9:34pm
He has definitely trained you! A great shot is your treat.

He's an adorable little visitor. I have to agree, you're well-trained.

Terrific capture at 19mm, he must have been really close !! Excellent capture Don, looks like you got a new friend now :)
23 Jun 2010 3:42am
I think he's trained you quite well, Don! What a cute little guy - great photo!
23 Jun 2010 5:23am
A GREAT closeup! If you want more squirrels, I'll send you some of mine. They've trained me to put out sunflower seed for the birds so they can steal half of it.
