The Willingdon Beach Trail is a
very pleasant stroll along the water. The squirrels here have been fed
so often they are almost semi-tame. It had been some time since I fed
them myself, so I grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and headed down
the trail.
This little fellow was quite
territorial. A younger-looking specimen was the first to sample my
wares, but with some very loud screeching on this guys' part he was
chased off in quick order.
A pleasant way to spend an hour or two on a hot summers' morning, feeding the squirrels and strolling along Willing Beach Trail.
This is a Douglas Squirrel,
native to the Pacific coast from California to British Columbia. Quite
small as squirrels go, it's a treat to watch them scurrying around. I
put my seeds down in 3 places, and within minutes I had my choice of 3
photographic subjects.
