Watcha lookin’ at?

While birds are my preferred subjects, there are just enough squirrels in our yard to entice me, once in awhile to put down my slingshot, and pick up the camera. Don’t worry, I don’t shoot to harm, mame, or kill (I’m not that good a shot anyway!). Rather my efforts are more along the lines of “go eat your own food and leave the birds’ food alone.”

When they’re not stealing the bird food I really enjoy their antics. I still marvel at how they can run down a tree head first and stay in control. Their ability to jump straight up (past the squirrel-proofing devices) and onto the feeders is just amazing.

If I don’t feed them enough they will come up to my office window and look in as if to say, “Where’s my dinner?” A small modeling fee for their time in front of the camera.
