Red squirrel (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus)

Fletcher Wildlife Garden

A couple of years ago, a tall sunflower popped up at the garden near the pond. When the seeds ripened, this red squirrel took possession of it. Whenever it left, a chipmunk would scurry up the stem and eat the seeds, until the squirrel came back and chased it away: https://pbase.com/laroseforest/image/166380520

This is a beauty of a photo. The squirrel looks so cute munching away at the seeds. I was actually confused until I read the caption as I couldn't figure out if he was very small!

A stunning image - it should be an illustration in a children's book.
