Squirrel Appreciation Day

Western Gray Squirrel
Effie Yeaw Nature Center, Sacramento, California, USA; APR 2019

I realized that I made a grievous error; last Sunday was Squirrel Appreciation Day and I failed to do a post in their honor. So, to the members of the family Sciuridae, Belated Squirrel Appreciation Day.

Every photo in this post is of a unique type of squirrel, Chipmunks, Marmots and Prairie Dogs. I don’t have any Ground Hog pictures, but they are squirrels too.
