These live in the woods and nest in tall pine trees. This one is eating something it found. I was shooting with the 300mm and he was only 20 feet away, so didn't get the whole animal. Cute little Tree rats!  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size. Steve

Thanks Richard, I see them everytime I've gone out to the water hole to shoot birds. This one is a new one. There is a grey one out there, and I would like to see it again. sparker1 wrote in post #8923263 Nice portrait. Thanks Stan... Someone combed those ears! Thanks Cyclop. snowyowl13 wrote in post #8923678 Maybe she is wearing extensions? Great shot! Thanks Dan, some of these squirrels have the hair and some don't. I thought it was an age thing like people...heh..heh. The younger squirrels don't seem to have much of it. Steve
