On my way home from visiting my daughter Liv who lives in Brooklyn, I stopped at several locations along the Connecticut coast where Snowy Owls have recently been sighted. Although no owls materialized, it was super interesting to learn about the diverse range of habitats hosting Snowies during this fantastic Snowy Owl irruption of 2017-2018. Liv and I spent Saturday morning exploring Jamaica Bay wildlife refuge and other habitats along the Brooklyn coastline where Snowies are also spending the winter. Photos to come when I have time to sort through but in the meantime, this funny little squirrel followed me about the Connecticut Audubon Refuge, coming quite close and seemingly wanting to play hide and seek. I played along for a bit and wished I had a peanut in my pocket 🙂

Good Morning Gloucester 
Ascribing human traits or activities to animals is anthropomorphizing. Animals are not human beings. Cute, but not human.
Squirrels are little raiders & food seekers, besides being bold as can be. Just like with sea gulls at the beach, squirrels will trail after humans to see if there’s a free food handout available.
Just sayin’ ….
Love animals, but not attributing human traits to them…… especially wild, not domesticated, animals of any kind.
