Red Squirrels

It was sometime last year when I realized we had some tiny Red Squirrels living here on the homestead. My neighbor Neil, who happens to be a walking encyclopedia on Birds, told me he had seen them in the Fir trees in the front yard.
The red squirrel eat a variety of foods including insects, seeds, nuts, fruits, and pine seeds or cones. We try to help them thru the winter and put out plenty of Black Oil Sunflower Seeds and Whole Kernel Corn that they seem to devour. They are much smaller then the Grey and a whole lot faster. So fast that I wondered how I would get a picture of them. The answer... Open the bedroom widow, sit in the warmth and wait.
