  • Hoarfrost on Leaves - this was not the version I intended to post, but, oh, well....
  • 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?

    Not the most graceful swallowing I have ever seen but I bet it went down like water off a duck's back. Excellent close-in capture and superb timing ! A hungry bird indeed !

    A fun capture. He's either mad about something or bit off more than he can chew/swallow. Excellent detail.
