SQUIRREL! EATING! LUNCH!

Rockville Park, on a bright sunny day. And the 45-200mm Lumix lens. Waterfowl was my goal for the day, but any small critter will do. This little guy was in the shade relaxing and enjoying some lunch when I happened by. Even at 200mm I still cropped this photo really tight. Any closer and he would have dashed off in fear. It's a tough life for a squirrel. Even after stashing away a lot of food, squirrels have to deal with this: "3. Squirrels may lose 25% of their buried food to thieves."
