I have been photographing nature for about thirteen years now and squirrels have been a favourite amongst viewers wherever I post my photos so here is a compilation of favourite squirrels on my Flickr site. Squirrels do the darnedest things and the cutest behaviours wherever you find them in North America or just in your backyard. Some of my most iconic squirrel photos were taken in the Northwest Territories where the American Red Squirrel abound and are the most prevalent critter on the trails. From eating mushrooms or just chatting up a storm you can find the red squirrels performing all kinds of antics in the Boreal Forest. Down in Ottawa there are a variety of squirrels that can be found in the woodsy areas of the city notably the Eastern Grey Squirrels both grey and black. Thrown in with the Eastern Chipmunk there are much squirrels to be seen and photographed in the area.

Thank goodness the Red Squirrels can be found year round and always make for a good subject to shoot in the cold of winter as well as anytime of the year. But photographed in the snow always makes for a great contrasting photo opportunity all the other species of squirrels hibernate through the winter months not to be seen until the warmth of spring graces Canada once again.
