Pulling out his very own Umbrella by alophoto

Pulling out his very own Umbrella

I've been enjoying watching all the wildlife out our windows today enjoying our seed. I even had to go out and refill it, they are all such little piggies. At one time there were 2 squirrels feasting and birds have been darting in and out all day long, including cardinals, blue jays and chickadees among others.

Then the snow started and I saw this guy pull out his own little umbrella tail to protect himself from the flakes. How cute is this?

Happy weekend, my friends.

Here is a little song I know complete with movements:

Gray squirrel, gray squirrel,
Shake your bushy tail.
Gray squirrel, gray squirrel,
Shake your bushy tail.
Wrinkle up your little nose,
Put a nut between your toes.
Gray squirrel, gray squirrel,
Shake your bushy tail.
Pea
Lol, oh yes he is, cute capture. A bit bored of all the rain in the UK now, sigh :-)
