All Creatures Great And Small

Small display cases feature dioramas of smaller animals, such as the Arctic ground squirrel.


This one, the eastern grey squirrel, is a familiar sight to many. The location, marked in the Gatineau Hills, has a familiar background to me, as I've taken pictures with that background. This would be one of the lookouts on the Champlain parkway up in the Hills, with the Ottawa River in the background.


Here we have the mountain dwelling collared pika.

    ...I never knew that there were so many kinds of squirrels until I saw a show on PBS.

    I could send them a few devilish grey squirrels if they need more! ;-)

    The pika is a funny little critter as it skitters in and around the rocks above the treeline.

    Those squirrels looks so much bigger than the Red Squirrels we have.

    Interesting, but not surprising, that they will make noisy warning calls.

    I've seen that grey squirrel somewhere... and his family too! They raid my bird feeders.
