Yummy!! Red squirrel licking up sap

Fletcher Wildlife Garden. At about this time of year, red squirrels take to nipping tree branches, especially on maples, and then enjoying the sap that flows. This activity is a reminder that maple syrup time will be soon!

Wow Christine........beautiful. Gosh you just wanna squeeze him (gently though). They are such wonderful little critters. I really love watching squirrels play and chase one another up and down the big pine trees here. I don't think we have any red squirrels down south, or a least I haven't seen any, so I enjoyed this shot a great deal. Fantastic. Vote :)
