Thankful For Squirrels

Wishing readers in the United States of America a Happy Thanksgiving! Here at BirdingPI.com, we are thankful for squirrels. Also nature. Celebrating the holiday with an XL post of shots from a beautiful fall day last Saturday at locally famous Wintergreen Gorge in Erie, PA.

      Thanks! Always fun to see squirrels. The gorge is a great place for a walk, but accessing the upper waterfalls takes a bit of effort – informal/uneven trails.
