Backyard Mammalian Fauna

I can't tell if the black squirrel is eating buds, berries, or flowers; my bet is that it's leaf-buds, but I could easily be wrong about that. Whatever it is, it's worth being out in the rain to get.


I don't know where the red squirrel spends rainy days, but it's somewhere other than my back yard. So all the pictures I have are taken in bright sunlight, which cheerfully blazes off the little fellow's white underside.


These I'm pretty sure are flowers; compact and tasty ones, to go by squirrel behaviour.
