Backyard Wintertime Nature in New Jersey.

One of the Many Squirrels Free Loading in My Attic. There were five nests and I had to replace all of the insulation in the attic and the wiring that they chewed through. Don’t know why they didn’t get electrocuted, and glad they didn’t start a fire. I wasn’t allowed to drop him/her off at the local nature preserve, but somewhere 5 miles away from the house. Image taken with a Leica T camera and 18-56 mm lens (ISO 100, 20 mm, f/4.2, 1/80 sec).
