Squirrel munching - what?

That´s a perfect photo! I have never had enough good luck to make a photo of squirrel. They move to fast and my camera has problems with mechanics now.
Sent to favourites, Fran.
P.S. I do not think it is meat. To me it looks like some "meaty" fruit.

hope you're right! this was an extremely long shot - well, about twelve metres - in the actual pic it was quite distant. it would'nt have kept so still if i'd got closer, or if it had been eating something smaller.

Marvellous photo Fran. I will magnify it on our other gizmo and try and get a better view of whatever it is eating. Must surely be vegetarian.

Looks like something in a wrapping to me.

it's the amount of pink that's putting me off - I know the inside of the mouth and tongue would be pink, at least I assume so, but that much pink?

i've heard that squirrels will take birds' eggs - not sure about anything more than that. lol I went to Google and started "do squirrels eat - " and up came options for birds, eggs and meat, lol I also found some entries for squirrel meat as human food. Don't think I'll go there.

This is an extreme crop, done on Paint Shop, and I did the "1 step photo fix" - maybe if I posted the original withoiut any enhancement, people could do their own thing better than I did it here.
