Our resident "chippy" that lives in the front stone wall. It likes to grab a cheek full of seeds and then crawl under the bbq grill cover for some private eating, away from predators and distractions. Today, apparently, it felt bold enough to hang out in this comfy position while the birds went about their merry, twittering ways nearby. I opened the deck door enough to sneak the big lens out and snapped this from about six feet away.
Isn't this a red squirrel?
Hey, you are right! Who knows where this thing lives...
