Abert Squirrel

abert-squirrel.jpgLast night we stayed in snowy Flagstaff, Arizona. When we got up this morning, we took Bear for a walk – she was very interested in this little Abert Squirrel who was gorging on pine nuts from the Ponderosas in the campground.

Aberts, or ‘tassel-eared’ squirrels are native to this region. North of Grand Canyon, their cousins, the Kaibab Squirrel abounds in isolation at the North Rim of the Canyon.

We will have pictures from the South Rim of Grand Canyon on tomorrow’s post.
