2203_0565 Squirrel On Ice
Sounds like a delicacy, and to a lot of hawks and coyotes, it is! This Richardson's Ground Squirrel is out of its den after a long winter, and found itself cut off from safety when the rolling red Toyota blind pulled up and stopped. Fortunately, I had already had breakfast.
With the bird migration now beginning and the resident wildlife more active, it's an exciting time of the year!
