Feed Me!

This little squirrel was sitting on our deck railing two days ago just before she jumped over to our bird feeder about 3 feet away to gorge herself with bird seed! It amazes me how well these little critters can function even in the extreme cold temps we have been having of late! God provides (in this case, with a little help from the Fischer’s bird seed)!!

Canon 100-400L; ISO 400; 1/500; f/7.1; 400mm; taken through our kitchen window; slightly cropped and resized.

Here are two more pictures, one showing the squirrel jumping toward the bird feeder and the second showing her in the bird feeder feasting away! Hope you enjoy!

  Outstanding sharpness and detail with this critter, you've got it in a perfect pose and I know they are very persistent. You've got a heck of a lens and of course it is in the hands of a very skillful photographer. Nice work Ronald!

  Great capture Ron! I'd better see an Editor's Pick medal on that one!

Hope you're staying warm up there... if we've had single digits twice this week here in Cincy, you must be shivering up there.
