Ah yes you fed it taffy! Doesent that trick work well. The squirls keep chewing and chewing... It's almost as good as gluing their paws to the log then they keep REALY still while you take the picture. Yup. Taffy and glue a natures photographers friends! The squirel looks grey to me. So it's eyes probably were NOT red. BUT they may have been light brown. Which may make them more succeptible to red eye! Beats me I didn't study genetics. It's the grass that really works. Were their trees close by. I don't see any. Bsteph
