These dark tailed squirrels have visited our patio every day at Underscar for the last 14 days. I was so lucky to get a shot of the 3 all together.
They are kittens and look like miniature versions of their parents. Kittens begin to venture from the nest when they are ten week olds; they are learning to find food for themselves and spend a great deal of their time obsessively burying what they find.
It is good to see these three brothers and sisters staying close to one another. Anytime between 10 - 14 weeks of age they will move out into a new nest and begin to live alone; then they will hardly tolerate one another.
