Trash Can Diver
Uploaded: January 21, 2013
Seems theres NO CHALLENGE to great to deter this squirrel from attaining a delicious free morsel from the waste can outside The River Center. Must have been pretty tasty as he allowed me to circle him to get the sun over my left shoulder for this capture.
FOOTBALL WAS FANTASTIC

Great capture. #10525717Mary K. Robison January 21, 2013
He looks like he's holding onto his latest snacks (with claws AND mouth), waiting to see what the giant circling him does next. That wary look helps explain how he's made it to adulthood without a major mishap... Cute capture, Jack. #10525722Carolyn M. Fletcher January 21, 2013
He's gonna hold onto that snack with everything he's got. Cute! #10525751Robert R. Goodman January 21, 2013

They've even funnier when they get down IN one of the cans and can't get back out! Cute one, Jack (agree about the FB games; happy with one win - SF - but the other one not so much)! Should be a good Super Bowl, though. #10525841Claudia Kuhn January 21, 2013

Real cute capture Jack of this little fellow, most of the time you wouldn't think twice of shooting a squirrel but at times they can make for a fun subject. Hope your ankle is feeling better, talk to you later this week. #10526809Tamara K. Walker January 21, 2013
