Feeding Frenzy in Central Park

Breakfast Time in Midland, Michigan

Back home in Southeastern Pennsylvania, 

squirrels are grey.  

Grey and only grey. 

I'm a chipmunk not a squirrel.

But here in Michigan, 

squirrels are grey, black, orange 

and any combination of those three colors. 

I found the variety of colors interesting enough 

to spend an hour on a squirrel hunt. 

At first I found none...

but persistence paid off. 

I found a plethora of squirrels (and one chipmunk) having their breakfast. 

And their coloring fascinated me. 

They are so much cuter in color 

than our grey variety. 

Especially that two-toned looked the squirrel above has going 

and the masked bandit below. 

What color are your squirrels?
