Post your best Squirrel shots

[Jayson]

Colin,


My two squirrels were fairly close both times. The black one runs along our fence to get to the trees in neighbors yards. The trees are small since it is a fairly new development so they don't get far from sight. This was the first black squirrel I have seen. They only have the brown squirrels where I am originally from. The brown squirrel is from a park where they are curious, but stay far enough back. I was sitting in a car when I got that shot. As said before, you don't really go out to shoot squirrels, you usually are shooting something else and they just happen to get close.

Thanks Jayson. I actually got a prize for that photo, in the Sunshine Meadows photo contest. I was feeling mighty proud, until I found out that there were only 8 entries! (And two of them were mine). This guy was chirping quite excitedly, so all I had to do was aim and fire off a long burst. Sure enough, one of them got him in mid-chirp.
