Description


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.


Exif: F Number: 7.1, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/500 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 400, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 400.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D
