Red Squirrel with a touch of Leucism
Captured this little fellow when trying for a dark morphed rough legged hawk, I failed miserably again but did find this guy perched up high on a dead tree limb. I believe he has Leusism which is considered rare in red squirrels. Leucism is a genetic condition which causes white coloring and is different to albinism because it does not affect the eyes.
