American Red Squirrel

I don't know what this american red squirrel was squinting at, but I'm glad he was not mad at me. Notice the wiskers are visible in the photograph. Also the toes, large and spread out, seem like they must be ideal for keeping a grip on tree bark.


Here's the full frame which was photographed with a 20x zoom lens.
