Gray Squirrel (Sciurus Carolinensis)

Althought these cute little guys can be found in backyards and parks, there preferred habitat is in the woods.

The gray squirrel will generally feed on fruit, nuts, and seeds that are in season, but bark and buds in the winter and summer.

I captured this little guy on photo while my wife and I were walking through Souris Valley. It was on the ground when we first saw it and then it ran up the tree. While sitting comfortably in the tree it allowed me to photograph it for atleast 5-10 literal minutes.
