Abert's Squirrel on cliff edge with pine cone in it's mouth.

---

While on a hike in the Sandia Mountains of New Mexico, this Abert's Squirrel bounded across the trail in front of us and disappeared over the edge of a cliff. It leaped back up carrying a pine cone in it's mouth. I got off several shots before it disappeared back across the trail and into the woods.
