Photographer Jerry Rolwes took this photo of a red squirrel in Farragut State Park north of Coeur d’Alene last Thursday. Rolwes said he and his wife headed to the state park hoping to see and photograph bluebirds.
“My wife and I left early with high hopes. We got there and walked over two miles but still haven’t found any bluebirds,” she wrote. “We circled the park and on our way out we came across this little red squirrel on top of a park information screen enjoying an early morning snack.”
