Little seed muncher

I was surprised to find that this photo came out OK, as usually my photos taken in the forest in Weaselhead don't come out - not enough light. A few of us had been standing, waiting, hoping that a Boreal Chickadee would appear, but we only lucked out on Black-capped Chickadees, White-breasted Nuthatch and a Downy Woodpecker. Shortly before we carried on with our walk, this little Red Squirrel joined in the fun. Unlike the Eastern Grey Squirrel, the smaller Red Squirrel is native to Alberta.
