When I went out to investigate a feeder that had been knocked to the ground, 
I found this guy looking guilty.  I don't think he is capable of dropping 
it;  I suspect a raccoon.  However, this squirrel is different from the 
others because the upper side of his tail is blonde, almost red.

When I attached the Leica Telyt-R 250 and went back outside, he quickly went 
up his favorite oak tree and "hid" behind the wires.  I shot an image, wires 
and all.

I am impressed with the detail from the X-E1/250 Telyt combination in this 
first attempt.  Focusing seems better than with the Oly 4/3 bodies.

Comments and critiques welcomed.
