at twenty below
under mountains of fresh snow
the squirrel finds a home
Your righteousness is like the highest mountains, your justice like the great deep. You, Lord preserve both people and animals.
Psalm 36:6 (NIV)

That looks like a very young squirrel.

I’m sure Gary has all the info. He’ll likely drop in later to tell the rest of the story. The little guy does look pretty small–in all that snow.
Thank you for stopping by, Joy!

Yes, it’s a young red squirrel. He took over the ermine tunnels under the snow to a grassy slough area (lots of bedding I suspect) after an owl snacked on the ermine. I had the tripod set up for some winter bird pictures (one of our coldest winter days) and this little guy came up, felt the cold, put his paws together and posed for a few shots until my hands were too cold. We both went inside.

We usually don’t see them that young unless one falls out of their aerie leaf nest.

God cares about baby squirrels, birds and cares for them. How much more does he care for each one of us? Much more!
