2017 Wildlife Photo Contest

Eastern Gray Squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis), Columbus, Ohio, United States of America
Curious Campus Squirrel

Species: Eastern Gray Squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) | Location: Columbus, Ohio, United States of America

On a walk to class one day I stopped to take pictures of a squirrel scurrying through the trees. At one point he noticed me taking pictures and settled down to watch it happen almost as if he wanted to have his portrait taken - which I was happy to oblige.
