Saturday's Squirrel.

The male...

With the students on break, so are our furry friends. We'll hear more from our friends later, but for now, we're going to take a look at other campus wildlife. It truly is amazing the amount of "biodiversity" here on campus, particularly around the lakes. Many would think that the lakes are filled with ducks and swans only, but surprise! There's other fowl floating around St. Mary and Joseph's Lakes. On the finding of Gadwalls, Fr. Terry Ehrman, C.S.C., biologist and part-time botanist, said, "Gadwalls on the lake this morning. Always a nice surprise. The male has subtle but beautiful plumage while the female has a fascinating pattern."

...and the female.
