"Rebecca Red Squirrel" outside my window.

"Rebecca Red Squirrel" (as we call all red squirrels in our yard--this one could be a boy, for all I know!) is one of many wild creatures who come to pay a visit outside my study window. I love to watch them as they go about their very busy routines. These red squirrels seem to be extremely possessive and irritable. They chatter and screech in a big way when another animal (usually a gray squirrel) comes too close. And they seem to be in a constant state of nervousness; probably goes with the spit-fire red fur.
