Well spotted and beautifully taken Karl! I love the way they use their tails as a blanket over their backs as another layer against the cold. An excellent image!

We have some 'black' Red Squirrels over here but they are very rare.

Great winter setting and interesting how they use the tail to cover the back somewhat. There are no black morph squirrels around here as far as I know.

I've never seen one here- wonderful chilly pose huddled up in the tree. Excellent definition in the enlarged view. Congrats!
