Sciurus_carolinensis I put out seed in the backyard and squirrels are always swinging on the bird feeder or eating off of the ground. I like how they use their tails to cover themselves, maybe to protect themselves.  it looks like they are wearing their own racoon skin cap, like Daniel Boone or you can call it a mohawk. : ) Eastern gray squirrel,Geotagged,Sciurus carolinensis,United States,Winter Click/tap to enlarge
