"I beg your pardon . . ."


I almost stepped on this fellow as I started to walk around the tree to check one of the squirrel middens for signs of use. I lifted my camera to get a shot, and he (she?) disappeared. I didn't notice it climb the tree or scamper away. The only thing I could figure is that it had popped down a hole among the tree roots. After I moved off for a few minutes I returned to the spot, and sure enough, there it was chewing away on a pine cone.
