DON BALKE (B. 1933) "RED
DON BALKE (B. 1933) "RED SQUIRREL"Don Balke (North Carolina, B. 1933) "Red Squirrel Sitting on Pine Tree Branch" Signed lower left. Original Watercolor painting on Illustration Board.
Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation.
This painting was originally published on the First Day Cover for the U.S. 29c Red Squirrel Self-Adhesive stamp issued June 25, 1993. No wild animals are more familiar to city dwellers than the ubiquitous squirrels. Common throughout North America, these bushy-tailed rodents are often seen in urban areas, where they frequent parks and can become nearly tame. Many a bold squirrel will even approach humans to beg for a tasty handout. Curious and entertaining, these semi-tame animals are often rewarded for their efforts. Yet no matter how much food the squirrels gather, they always seem to be looking for more. Squirrels are notorious boarders, hiding food in hollow trees and even underground. In fact, many trees are thought to be planted when a forgetful squirrel buries a nut which later germinates. The relationship between squirrels and nut trees is almost symbiotic. By burying nuts and then forgetting them, squirrels assure future generations of their kind nutritious food source. Folklore about squirrels and their habit of hiding surplus food abounds. Over the centuries, men have believed that when squirrels hide more food than normal, a harsh winter is on the way. Taking the cue, they too would save extra food for the cold months ahead. It was once thought that squirrels slept all winter but, in fact, most species are not true hibernators. They're simply less visible in the winter because they sleep for longer periods. Yet on a sunny midwinter day, energetic squirrels often emerge to explore their snow-covered surroundings.

DON BALKE (B. 1933) "GROUND SQUIRREL"Don Balke (North Carolina, B. 1933) "Ground Squirrel" Signed lower left. Original Watercolor on Illustration Board.
Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation.
This painting originally appeared on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the U.S. 37c Ground Squirrel Arctic Animals stamp issue of July 2, 2003. The arctic ground squirrel Spermophilus parryii was nicknamed "tsik-tsik" by Alaska's Inupiat Eskimos because of the distinctive call it makes to warn other squirrels of nearby predators, even using different variations to warn of different kinds of predators. It usually feeds around high noon, often stuffing its cheeks full of leaves or seeds (Spermophilus means "lover of seeds") to take back to its den for future snacking. Since summer daylight is continuous and very little tundra vegetation exists to provide cover from predators, the "tsik-tsik" keeps a low profile, traveling with its body pressed closely to the ground in a movement known as "tundra glide." In preparation for fall hibernation, it fattens up on flowers, seeds, mushrooms and berries, nearly doubling its body weight over the summer months. The arctic ground squirrel also stores food in its burrow to ensure that when it awakes from its seven-month nap it has something to eat while waiting for spring plants to grow. During hibernation, its body temperature drops from 98.6? F to an incredibly cold 26.4? F -- the lowest known body temperature of any living mammal! In a feat which continues to mystify modern science, this amazing creature allows the temperature of its body fluids to drop below freezing without crystallizing into ice and causing major tissue damage. During the long winter, this impressive rodent will periodically rouse itself -- briefly raising its body temperature by more than 70? F in just four hours.
