Cute shot. We get them resting like that all the time. I wish I had time to set up a shot for what we call the "car wash". It's essentially a milk crate with strings and washer hanging down over one of the handles to keep the Blue Jays out, while squirrels are willing to go through the handle and gain access to the nuts kept inside. I so want to set up a camera in there with a remote to catch them with their head poking in. Maybe over the weekend.

Adorable! I'll be honest and say my first impression was that this shot would be a terrific candidate for the November Monthly Contest! :cool:
