p.1 #1 · Mouthful

This squirrel came running towards me with a mouthful of nesting/den material. It then ran up a large fir tree that was just 5 feet away from me. Squirrels use old cavities in trees that are often abandoned by woodpeckers, but they will also build nests out on branches.

Just saw it coming at the last second, so it was underexposed by a couple of shots, even at ISO 12,800.

Coming straight at you is a difficult shot to get and have it in focus, terrific job!

Tony,

with all the squirrels we have and have had all these years, I've not ever seen a squirrel do this.

I've seen the babies, but not the nesting material in the mouth

Great catch especially at the speed they run.

Fun shot

Thanks Lil. First time I have seen it also. One of those lucky times.
