A squirrel shrilling from the
backyard in the morning, reminds me it’s Saturday. I’m still wondering what’s
the connection between Saturday and squirrels, since childhood I hear to
squirrels shrill mostly in the Saturday mornings. Usually it takes me back in
memories about certain moments connected with squirrels and Saturday, but this
time it remind me the little squirrel I found in the backyard of my uncle’s
woodhouse, in the Kodai hills, aka Thandikudi. The woodhouse has a wonderful balcony
at the rear open to the woods and vegetation, where I bird watch when I was
there, I also find squirrels on the tree. Last time I found a little squirrel which
seems to be residing on the jackfruit tree because rather jerking it doesn’t
move anywhere or know how to climb down. While busy with other activates, I forget
to check the squirrel other day whether it still perched over, but he was a cute
little one where I found him even sleep on the branches and quick respond to
any sound as a sign of alert. I found two more squirrels there and will share
those photos in another post.
Your squirrels have stripes like our chipmunks. He looks smaller than some but I bet it is fun to watch them. The call may be a territorial call to keep other squirrels away.

ReplyDeleteIt's funny that you hear your squirrels on Saturdays. We have a lot of squirrels around here - they can be fun to watch.
ReplyDeleteYour squirrels are cute and fluffy. There are lots of squirrels running outside my home everyday but they are so skinny and comes in 2 species. They are dark brown and greyish.
ReplyDeleteGreat capture of the little squirrel. Usually squirrels are too fast for my camera.
ReplyDeleteHe's almost hidden in the leaves so you did well to capture these lovely shots of him busy at work!
