A young Gray Squirrel, about half the size of a typical adult squirrel, licks the back of its paws while sitting on a tree
limb in Sharon Woods Metro Park near Columbus, Ohio. The squirrel saw me with my camera and ran out the limb
before realizing it had nowhere to go. It turned and called out several times before crouching into a defensive position
for a while, then relaxing and licking its paws.
