Well done as usual, Tony. Sharp, well framed and all that.
One issue only........I think WB needs fixing.

These are some very cute images of Rocky, Tony. I'm just grateful that you didn't show us the following day's evidence that Rocky likes Sunflower seeds!

Dave


Thanks, David. The sunflowers get thrown out for the birds that prefer feeding on the ground, like Juncos, Quail, and Towhees. Only trouble is the mice, deer, squirrels, and racoons then also eat them.

Well Tony,

it looks like your friend comes out during daylight or is this taken in the evening with lots of light

I only see mine in pitch dark & they like bird seeds as well.

# 3 & 4 are my favorites.

Lil


Thanks, Lil. These are taken just before sunset at ISO 1600.

Nicely done, though I'm having a hard time seeing the cute in these guys since I have 6 houses with trash enclosures that I can't seem to coon-proof.


Thanks, Robert. They do have their nasty and destructive side.

Very clear photos Tony but is the color the way it should be on the raccoon? It appears gray.

Funny....I have a similar visitor new to the yard although yours seems a lot cuter and fatter then mine.

I agree with Chad about the blue cast.


Thanks, Duane. No blue cast here. Are you wearing the same Paul Newman contacts as Chad

Thanks, Lou. Black, white and gray are the colors I see, and the right ones for racoons around here.

awesome....color looks good here.
Sometimes shadows of shiny fur can take on a reflection of a blue sky
that light fir does not reproduce. I do note see this, but only a tiny bit of chroma noise.
Just about negligible.

nice images for sure Tony

Thanks, Dave. You are correct about the reflection. I have posted images of waves on a lake, and someone said the highlights had a blue cast. The blue cast was really reflections of the blue sky.

Thanks, Rob. I have only caught a glimpse of a black bear once in the five years we have lived here. It was feeding on a fawn carcass. They generally stay inland or on the west coast of the Island.
