I know I’ve posted a lot of squirrels lately, but that’s what my camera trap has been capturing. This guy was caught running along a fallen tree this afternoon. There’s a bit of a delay with the trigger so action shots usually happen when something else (like a bird or another squirrel) sets off the trap just before the subject enters frame. A lot of luck involved, but with the abundance of squirrels running around in the back woods these days, it’s bound to happen sooner or later. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 17-35mm lens (at 17mm) ISO 500, f/14 at 1/200th of a second, Cognisys camera box, trail monitor and remote flash units.
Filthy gluttonous destructive hairy tailed rats. Their only positive use is when their carcasses provide fertilizer for flora, and, of course, food for raptors and crows.

This squirrel picture is nuts!
(Sorry, I didn’t sleep well last night. That’s the best I can do right now.)
Hmmm.

You rock Bob! My thoughts exactly
Don’t encourage him Mom. I know he probably secretly loves the squirrels but doesn’t want to admit it.
Such a cool shot of an everyday creature.
That is a swell capture!
