Slightly better video of Greg the Red Squirrel Kit in the birdfeeder


He tried to teach his younger siblings to raid the feeder, but so far they aren't as successful or interested. Greg's fur is all sleek and shiny, and he is now rounder and bigger than his siblings!

North American Red Squirrel (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus) kit raiding the bird feeder

I love watching the red squirrels in the backyard. They are always so bubbly and hyper. It's been a mild winter and a hot spring (haa!) so far, in Calgary, so there's a big baby boom of squirrels and hares.

This little guy is Greg (named after another squirrel fan in NWT - *waves hi to Greg if he's reading this*). There's three kits, but I cannot tell them apart just yet. For now they are all Gregs LOL.
