Fox Squirrel (Sciurus niger)

Many thanks to my friend Ron who have correctly identified this cute Fox Squirrel.. not Red Squirrel

I took this shot in San Diego, he was begging for food,
instead he had a photography session. Don't know if he he was happy about that but I was!

Note:

The Fox Squirrel's natural range extends throughout the eastern United States, excluding New England, north into the southern prairie provinces of Canada, and west to the Dakotas, Colorado, and Texas. They have been introduced to both Northern and Southern California.

Great shot Everton,
Good detail, color and exposure! I like the low POV. you captured. Well done!!
Are you positive about the ID though? It looks like a young Fox Squirrel to me. Go to yahoo images and type in Tamiasciurus hudsonicus and you will see what I mean.
Ron

hello Everton

i agree with Ron, i don't think this is a American Red Squirrel,
beautiful photo of this squirrel, fine POV and framing,
beautiful luminosity, excellent sharpness and details,

Reasons to be happy with this cute thing, Everton!
This Red Squirrel with its tail bunched up looks wonderful on the green grass.
You got a perfect POV here to capture the subject in a nice, adorable pose.
Well done and TFS.

Hi Everton.
What an expressive shot of a fine animal. You managed to freeze a very cute pose and moment. DOF is great. All animal is in focus and grass carpet is detailed very well too. Colours are rich and natural. Bravo. Excellent job.
Alexei.
