From this morning, a few shots....
The first is obviously a squirrel, caught up in the canopy of the tree with it's mouth full.
The second is a pic I have been trying to get for ages. There are two of these nests on my big tree that are inhabited by flickers/woodpeckers. I snapped this pic of one sticking it's head inside the nest. Not sure if there was anything in there it was feeding or if it was adding a few bits of fluff to line it's nest.
The last pic, is a rather poor pic, but I liked the appearance of the wings/feathers of the bird in flight.
Hopefully tomorrow or later this week I will have better luck in capturing some better pics of the wildlife around here. If all else fails, I will have to stalk the cat and have her pose,lol.
If you're trying to get pictures of wildlife have you considered having a party with an open bar? ;-)
ReplyDeleteDid you use a filter on the squirrel photo or did you get that in the camera? I like it.
No filters were used. It was just the effect from zooming thru the leaves on the tree to focus on the squirrel.
ReplyDeletePretty cool! ;-)

ReplyDeleteVic. U sure you don't work as a photographer for National Geographic? Good pics.

ReplyDeleteLOL is the squirrel the same little guy that was SO exhausted in those other photos?
ReplyDeleteToo cute . . . He looks like you caught him red handed and he is thinking up an alibi . . . "What acorn? I don't have an acorn . . . Ohhhh you mean THIS acorn? I was just picking it up to dust under it" . . . LOL . . .
