Ready, Set, Go!


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   "Ready, Set, Go!"
"Ready, Set, Go!"
1/400s @ f/5.6, ISO 1600, Nikkor 300 mm f/2.8 VR II.(Animals)

This guy was getting ready to pounce on one of the bird feeders - they are so quick when they are not eating! But I can't get too mad at them - they do keep us amused with their antics.

I don't have much problems with these guy's, it't the chipmunks that get in my feeders. Cute capture Rona...

  Ah, you can almost see him calculating the distance, gauging the possibilities and testing the wind direction before launch off...lol! Love the ever-hopeful expression caught in his eye and that tightly wound body language that's ready to pounce...not to mention, the fantastic detail and great color! Love this guy!!!

  Thanks for stopping by everyone! Yes, the squirrels can fly, Carol - I have seen them do so! I think we've finally outwitted them at the feeders but I still love to watch them try.

  Thank you all so very much! Sorry about my absence of late - upon return from out of town I discovered we had a critical publication deadline (my last!) and then I also had computer problems. But I'm back this evening and maybe tomorrow so I hope to catch up with all the finalists!
