This is a first for me but seems they aren't as uncommon as I thought.



I don't know why I have that Slinky Toy song in my head when I look at this shot.

A birth certificate shows we were born.  A death certificate shows we died.  Pictures show we live.

Cute little guy.
Probably one of the residents from Lambton Woods. The park if famous for its Albino Squirrels.
I guess he's straying a little ways farther afield looking to stock up for winter.

Interesting!
I've been to Lambton Woods countless times and yet have never seen one!

Hey Rob, we saw this guy for the first time on the north side of Eglinton in between Kipling and Islington.

They must have a heightened sense of themselves and obviously have avoided the predators very successfully if we still see more than 1.

First for me too.

Birding takes my mind off stuff and it adds good life to a tuff life. It also helps me forget about my spine pain and stress.  Laugh, eat, be merry.  Anybody with extra $ may send me some as It will permit me to travel.
