Tried to get a shot several times...he wouldn't stay still.First red squirrel I've seen in quite a spell.A better focus would have been nice.

GOD Bless

Hey, that looks like a pretty good focus to me. I'm not familiar with red squirrels. Are they a lot smaller than others?

Yes they are quite a bit smaller.My P520 is 18.1 megapixel,could have been sharper.

Nice shot Chris.... I was at woodshop yesterday just doing some quiet hand sanding. Large overhead door was open. Had to go to bathroom so I head toward open door to hit edge of woods (5-6 yds. away). I walked out and turned corner and I don't know who was more surprised... Me or the 15-20 wild turkeys just a few feet away. Some ran into woods, some turned around and ran down drive, some jumped straight up and tried to fly (1 hit window A/C w/wing) and some ran right by me. But it was a close encounter!!!

Nice pic...the 'reds' here (south-east Great Lakes) seem to like the bush instead of urban life..unlike the grey and black squirrels here. They seem to be holding their own (staying ahead of the fastest animal in the trees in North America..The Fisher!)
