Description
This is the big bad dreaded Grey Squirrel, They arrived in our area about 3 years ago. Until then we only had the native, smaller and cuter Douglas Squirrel. This Grey Squirrel fights for territory with the small brown Douglas squirrel. He obviously got this peach off my peach tree, and I realize not even these animals like the feeling of peach fuzz on their tongues. Hehe. The Western gray squirrel (Sciurus griseus,) is the largest tree squirrel in Washington, ranging from 18 to 24 inches in length. It has gray upper parts, a creamy undercoat, and its tail is long and bushy with white edges. This species is found in low-elevation oak and conifer woods in parts of western and central Washington. Mr. Grey is always fighting the my favorite brown Douglas Squirrel. Today Mr. Grey Squirrel managed to win the peach. This peach is probably bigger than the "Mr. Bud's" entire body.. I don't think he was willing to share either.. Bummer

Kym I hope you realize you have a gift that you share so readily with the world. First of all, you have an endless supply of animals who seemingly perform on command for your camera...but the gift you have is humor...the ability to see a situation in nature, capture it and transform it into a moment captured that never ceases to bring a smile to my face. Thank you!
