Red squirrel with walnut

FWG

Earlier, I stopped to watch a red squirrel burrow down into the snow and retrieve a walnut. It came up with what at first looked like a giant (for a red squirrel) snowball. But it quickly dispensed with the snow and began gnawing away on the nut. I tried to get a photo of the snow covered walnut, which would have been quite neat, but he was too quick for me.
