The adorable American Red Squirrel is Minnesota’s smallest tree squirrel. It is feisty and vocal but sometimes it holds still long enough for a portrait session. On our first full day at Sax-Zim Bog, we walked down a trail and at the snowy trailhead, this little guy was perched atop a snow-covered stump just watching. We were able to get fairly close and it barely moved while we took its portrait. Then, it had other business in the bog and disappeared from view.
