My Squirrel

[JimFox]

This is a Fox Squirrel I captured yesterday. After I saw the squirrel @Roger Bailey posted yesterday I thought it would be cool to catch a squirrel too. And it was my lucky day as I got one!

I was leaving the Rec Center where I work out and I was parked at the park next to it. I saw the Squirrel on a tree limb, I grabbed my camera from the backseat, but of course then the squirrel started running along the tree, but fortunately it ran down the tree trunk and was down on the ground and I grabbed a few shots.

Nikon Z8
Tamron 50-400mm

Nice pair of portraits of this little specimen. They don't stay in any one spot for long.

Nice pose in both the shots.

Thanks Alan, I thought the serendipity of Roger just posting a squirrel shot was kind of cool.

Thanks Jameel.

Excellent opportunity. The squirrels around here on the property disappear at Warp 10 up a tree or into the woods as soon as they spot a human.

Thanks so much! This guy did seem a bit more calm, perhaps because it's a large city park in the downtown area.

By coincidence, yesterday on TV there was a documentary how squirrels have adapted to the urban environment ...
