Default Gone Squirrelly

Looks like a good day for squirrel shots. This one was eating bird seed the birds scatter out of the feeder.

_MG_6692-1

Shot thru the kitchen window and screen with 75-300. Thanks for looking.

Great shot! I think I'm going to have to invest in a longer lens so I can get some shots like this.. they always run away from me when I get too close..lol

This is very nice picture considering it was shot thru the window and screen.

Yeah, the screen kinda added a diffuser to it. Trying to get out the door without them hauling a$$ is a bit of a problem.

We've been feeding a family of squirrels for years. They come right up to the glass doors and knock if nuts aren't put out in the mornings. I can go out, sit in a chair and shoot them with a 300mm or 400mm lens while they sit on the deck railing and eat. They'll even come up to the chair to take nuts out of my hand.
