Red Squirrel with His Prize

A red squirrel perches on a tree branch eyeing me suspiciously as I get close for a photo. He is probably thinking that I am an intruder trying to steal his pine nut that he has clearly devoured, when all I really want are his great poses! Captured in north Idaho's Selkirk Mountains.
