Red Squirrel at Rachel Carson

Red Squirrel, Rachel Carson NWR, Headquarters, Wells Maine

I took my ebike down along Rt 9 as far as the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge Headquarters to see how fall is happening. While at Rachel Carson I walked the short loop trail behind the buildings out along the bluff above the junction of Branch Brook and the Merriland River. There were lots of Red Squirrels, very busy with laying in winter supplies. I caught this one perched less than 15 feet from me.
