This red was exhausted by all the activity taking place in his home. Or at least, that is how I anthropomorphically interpret this pose. A few minutes before, he'd been sitting hunched up as above him four male cowbirds were carrying on - screeching and fluttering and making a to-do. Eventually they left, and he ventured out along this branch, when in came a yellow-rumped warbler, almost landed on him, and began hopping along a branch just over his head. The squirrel sank down in this exhausted pose!
