This appears to be a (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus) Red Squirrel .The Muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus ) has a long scaly tail,that is not covered in fur.
As you say,you have managed amazing action as this squirrel slashes through the bird seed with it's sharp teeth.

Hello and welcome to TN !
I have some squirrels around my house and I know how hard it is to capture them (I have hundreds of missed pictures)... As you say, you have managed to get a nice action picture.
But the picture is very blurry - probably the best you could do given the circumstances, but a pity that we cannot see the aimal better... And the picture is also a bit dark and noisy on the dark areas.
I understand it was not easy, and I hope that we will see many more pictures from you - maybe you will be able to make a better capture of this one, later ?
Greetings,
Valerie.

A Squirrel not a muskrat.

Welcome to TN! :)
A great start here...it's a little blurry but that's just part of starting out. I'm going to give you two points just for showing up, suiting up, shooting the shot and posting. :)

Keep snapping those photos!
