Apparently I'm the proud mama of a baby red squirrel!
I'm a sucker for babies!
It was sweet to see him so gingerly exploring his world outside his safe little nest.
And now I'm sure he's headed in for a nap and to dream about all the peanuts he's going to get off my bird feeders this year.

They are kinda cute. I've got three of them coming to my feeders and it's fun to watch them access tunnels in the snow. Then they pop their heads up--like whack-a-mole--to see if I'm still watching from the deck.
How cute is he?!
Those are some amazing photos! What a sweet baby...

Oh! those pictures are wonderful! and I'm the first to see them. Lucky me. The squirrel is gorgeous, just gorgeous. I hope you see him again and take some more lovely pics.
I just love babies! We have a family of squirrels living in one of the sheds outside. Did not surprise me since the old farmer tore out all the trees. (Bad farmer) I bet your going to have hours of enjoyment just watching him!

What a sweet little thing.
Mama most have called him back (o:
Aw...he's so cute! We don't have any red ones here, just black ones and gray ones. Great pictures, Shelley! :D
Wow! Great photos! Love all the colors, and the reddish hues on your new friend!
Sweet hugs,

so sweet and adorable. Awesome photos.
What a cutie he is. It must result from a story I was read as a kid or maybe a Keebler elf commercial, but I always envision a humble little abode with pictures on the wall of a squirrel's nest!!!!!
Hi Shelley, We don't have those 'pretty' squirrels here. Ours are the ole' plain gray ones... They are a nuisance!!!! I'm sure that the red ones are MUCH nicer... ha

Oh my gosh!!!!! Those pictures are so cute! You were so lucky to get those. I think you should enter them in a contest.
All babies are cute.
Really, I can't believe he would steal nuts from the birds though!
Awww cute squirrel! He's going to have a happy home by you guys up there!
Oh, my word...I just want to hold it! Too, too sweet!
Oh, he will DEFINITELY be at your feeders...we have had a squirrel at ours all winter...he hasn't hibernated at all!!! Cute pictures!!
Beautiful photos, and he's adorable. I didn't realize how red they really are either :-)
Blessings,

I was amazed when I moved here that we had no squirrels at all. Chipmunks and rabbits and moles and of course mice but not a single squirrel. They were hanging out 1/4 mile away at the cemetery. Well. word must have gotten out that we put out good chow for the birds. 2 squirrels have made the short trip this winter.
Fabulous photos Shelley! He's adorable!
Hugs,

Hi Shelly, I'm sorry it has taken me so long to get back with you. My brother just sold his house in Petosky so I don't know when I will be back up there but when I do I would love to see you and scout. In the mean time I wanted to wish you the best of luck with school. You are a great gal and I have really enjoyed knowing you through FB.
Ahhhhhhhh...so cute!!
Awh sweet pics! :) My little Red's are wildly hyper buggers!
Hope you've been well, Shelley!
Have a great weekend.
ahh how cute. gotta give him/her a name
Fantastic photos Shelley. I am a sucker for those little guys too!
I think he chose the right place to be born. I can't believe he came out of the hole just for you to take some amazing pictures. He is so cute!
He's gorgeous; I want one!
