Hi Jayson, nice photos! Very rich in color. Love the first photo -- the squirrel, I like it how it seems to pose for you.


Simply wonderful!!! []

Nice shots! Wow are the squirrels really that colored where you live?


Where I live I only see one once a year and it's looks pretty much brown to me. Kick-ass birds by the way![Y]

nice shots jayson. i too use a 70-200f/4, but on an XSi, and am looking for a tc.....which kenko do you have?? the pro300 or the mc4?? and when you got it, did you compare it to the sigma or tamron??

Exactly, where did you take these? I know red squirrels are all over Europe, but in the States they are scarce...

The Kenko that I use is the pro300 DG. I read some reviews and gave it a try. I never have compared it to the other TC because I didn't have the money to buy them to try once I purchased the 70-200. The reviews I read said that the Kenko and Tamron were basically the same optics by the same company, just different names on the TC. I like it, so that works for me.


I never realized how saturated the photos were until I saw them on another computer today. My photo computer with the calibrated monitor crashed two days ago, so it appears this one is a little on the red side. For the most part, that is the color of the squirrel. I live in Nebraska/Iowaand we have this color of squirrel in theMidwestand then black colored squirrels also. I believe the black squirrels are from across the Missouri River.

Here is one of the black squirrels. I don't see a whole lot of them, but they are quite different.

Thanks for looking and thank you everyone for your comments. I appreciate the feedback.

I was driving around the local lake and this guy was raiding the bird feeder. This was the last of four pictures as he made his escape.
