Tall Tails

Tall Tails

Uploaded: November 02, 2009

Description

One of the last images of WeeBold when Wee was, well...wee! I just loved that bushy tail that all but dwarfed the wee one. Wee's body, still wearing 'baby fluff,' is finally catching up with that tail. Although no recent images (Wee's a bit more aloof), I'm happy with any Wee sighting, as that means the red-tailed hawk hasn't snatched my baby!

Exif: F Number: 5, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 10/2000 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 640, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 105.00 mm, Model: NIKON D80

Wee's not so wee...ah, but I'll miss that "baby fluff"! Know what you mean about the red-tailed hawk, too...ours do a lot of "duck and weaving" getting from one spot to another...cause that bad, ol' bird is crusing the area daily...Hope Wee stays safe - he's a sweetie, Tess! #8096209

Just adorable! Great capture! As a kid we had a family of squirrels in Michigan that we fed on our front porch. The squirrels ended up moving in to our house and living in our walls. We felt terrible about having to evict them. They kept us up all night partying! #8109223
