    Get a pellet rifle, I hear the little beasts taste good. :eat The tree rats desided to take up house keeping in my attic, and for some reason they want in my bathroom, thier entry point of choice being the cieling above the shower where they chewed 1 foot hole in the sheet rock while I was gone.

    Nice shots. Love the light in #2 and catch lights in the eyes in #3. At least they are bigger targets than the small birds from my yard. :D

    Nice set of squirrel shots Thusie. Those look quite sharper than your last ones if I remember right.

    Oh Snappy I know about the small birds, so far that whole adventure has been a bust for me:cry Got to keep trying tho.

    Glad you like the shots, and thanks.

    I am in with the majority here. Very nice squirl shots. Sharp and good expressions for the animals. My husband forbids me to put food out for squirls, but hey, I love anything furry.
    Lovely shots! Did you use a zoom lens? How did you get so close?

    Thanks much Steve, workin on it. The 70-200 is glued to the 20D and practice, practice long lens technique. Yea, yea not really a long lens but theory is the same. Besides, Don, who has seen (25+- years) knows just how bad I am with a camera, is just proud as punch with what I'm doing now and that makes me very happy:):

    Thanks Photocat! I was using the 70-200 and range was 176mm for two shots and 200 for two, they are cropped some. 10' is about the limit of their comfort zone, townie sqs as Don calls them, use to being around people:):

    I didn't mean for it to sound like I was knocking the shots, the shots are great, I am just oh so frustrated with the furry beasts right now. Imagine haveing to take a shower with a 12"+ hole above you, and looking up to see those "cute" eyes looking back at you.
