Thanks Andy & David!

Andy, you taught me a new word and it perfectly describes this squirrel's demeanor!
'furtive' - attempting to avoid notice or attention, typically because of guilt or a belief that discovery would lead to trouble; secretive; suggestive of guilty nervousness.

David, I like the way you think and lol on the overdoing it part!
Cheers...Donna 😊

Lovely shot, we are plagued by them too on our bird table! I don't mind though, I like to see them.

Thanks, Giulio!

Thanks, Maria...I was surprised at how long his tail was, too!

Thanks, David...I don't really mind them either as they are fun to watch up close and to photograph. It's also interesting to watch the interaction of species, even among the different bird species and male and female.
My property allows me to have a 'bird's eye view' of it all and the telephoto sure helps me get up close and personal. Been shooting the same spot for several days now and I think all have gotten used to my presence as I can get quite close to the windows without a lot of flinching from the dinners!
Cheers...Donna 😊

Thanks, Paul! My newly purchased 55-300 lens has made my otherwise dreaded winter a joy! 😀
Cheers...Donna 😊
