Here is another contribution to Squirrel Week. I spotted this red squirrel out my window last November in this balsam fir tree and grabbed my camera. The squirrel was clipping branch tips and then holding them like a cob of corn and eating something ?? - maybe the bark? (not the needles) I didn't think anything really ate balsam fir except starving deer in the winter. 40D, 500 f/4, 1/200, f/5.6, ISO 400, hand held though propped on a deck railing. Comments are welcome.
