  • Infected Squirrel - Around Dec. 18 I noticed a squirrel at our feeder with what looked like a huge tumor on its back; several days later I saw a squirrel with lots of what appeared to be dried pus on its back.  I surmised that, rather than a tumor, the squirrel had some kind of infection that was draining.  I continued to get shots of this same squirrel over the next month.  Eventually, the area of dried pus seemed to be smaller and, finally, in the last images, you can see that it has mostly fallen off, although the entire area still seems very red and irritated.  The squirrel always eats a huge amount at the feeder and seems to be as agile as ever.  I wonder what caused the infection...an injury from another squirrel, a raptor or cat?

    Very pretty flower indeed but the fly is even better, in this case ! Excellent detail and exposure on this fine close-up !!

    Gorgeous colors with the fly, which, under normal circumstances, can be quite annoying; however, in this case, it's a bonus!
