p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Warning: RTH with Squirrel + Friends (9)


I decided to take the day off from shooting this particular day. As my recent lucky streak would have it: I leaned back in my reclining chair, looked out the window and there was a RTH with a grey squirrel right in my front yard. I ran down stairs, grabbed the mkIV/500 and the tripod, set it up low for 2 feet above ground and meandered out front behind a tree. I peeked around the tree for these shots. All shots are just shy of full frame. At one point a car passed and the RTH left the squirrel only to return and carry it out to the gravel covered street. Before another car had passed , it flew it off to the safety of the dense woods across the way.

Those in-flights with the RTH, and squirrel are incredible. The last eagle shot is awesome. Great stuff, Herb.
