Corbin, Kentucky, United States – Video filmed by X user Tim Jackson captures a gray squirrel enjoying the early-spring sunshine on March 1, 2026, amid mild weather that drew locals outdoors following recent storms.

The clip opens with a close-up of the fluffy squirrel perched on a wooden fence rail or tree branch, its fur ruffled lightly by a gentle breeze under clear blue skies. The animal stretches luxuriously, rolling onto its back with paws in the air, eyes half-closed, soaking in the warm rays. Its tail twitches and it shifts position, appearing almost as if posing for the camera.

As the footage continues, the squirrel flips over, nibbles on a nut or seed held in its tiny paws, and glances curiously at the lens, whiskers twitching and ears perked. The background shows a typical suburban Kentucky yard with green grass, budding trees, and distant sunlit hills.

The video follows the playful rodent as it scampers along the rail, pauses to groom itself, and strikes another sunbathing pose, all against the serene, sunny backdrop.

The clip concludes with a lingering close-up of the relaxed squirrel, offering a simple yet heartwarming moment of nature enjoying the break in weather. The mild conditions, with highs in the mid-60s, encouraged both wildlife and locals to spend time outdoors after February’s storms.
