Out early looking for pileated woodpeckers, this was all I found.

A nice alert pose but this appears to be quite a crop which has resulted in the quality of the image suffering as a result ?

No crop at all! Very early morning light; very slow shutter speed.

Ah, this explains why nothing appears in focus then. A shame.

Nice shot...this is not a red squirrel but is also known as chickaree or pine squirrel

Well...at least I got the Douglas part right. But you're absolutely correct...the red squirrel (T. hudsonicus) is not found on the Pacific slope. I've got to quit relying on my out-of-date recollection of mammalogy (1958). At that time I think they considered T. douglasii a sub-species of the red, but, again, my memory is cloudy. Thanks for pointing it out.
