Baby squirrels looking cute

Last year we had three baby squirrels born and raised in one of the bird boxes at the rear of our house. We have watched these babies grow over the last year and we have called them the three amigos as they all tend to stick together and look after each other – not something you see in squirrel world very often.

Yesterday they were playing and eating from our deck and they are sooo cute I just couldn’t resist taking a few photos – well lots actually but here are a few.

It is so rare to see three squirrels so close to one another and not fighting.

    How cute! I love watching squirrels. They always look like they are having fun. I haven’t seen any black squirrels here in the Denver area, so I watch for them when I go back home to Kingston for a visit.
