Candid Gray Squirrel Family Photographs


Our balcony looks into the treetops in the woods behind the apartment.  Every once in awhile, we get a little bit of insight into the family lives of the critters who live in the woods.

I'm not an expert on gray squirrels, but this one looks a little bit pregnant to me.

Is this Squirrel Pregnant?
Her mate has been busy gathering twigs for their nest and eating pecans.  But, he comes over to check on her.

This is not squirrel porn.  This guy just came to check on the momma.
I'm not a squirrel-ologists, but it looks like a typical day in the life of a squirrel family.  If you'd like more information on squirrels, they apparently study them over at Clemson University in nearby South Carolina.  Here's an article on gray squirrel habits in South Carolina.  Here's an article on squirrels from the Georgia DNR.
