Shake it!

I was going through some old photos today (I am so far behind on archiving--yikes!) and I found some pictures of a squirrel that I took at Wright park last year. It's a bit hard to tell but I believe this is a picture of the squirrel shaking himself. Obviously my shutter speed was not high enough to keep up with squirrel shaking. Look at how the blur patterns are kind of centered around that one spot on his flank. Perhaps that's where his shaking motor is located.

Here's another picture so you can see what a cute little guy he is. He'd just finished burying a peanut, so he's got some dirt on his face.
