Trash Can Diver

Description

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

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. #10525722

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. #10525841
