Donald hands out and my wife feeds him, got a shot with my Nikon D3400 and my 200-500 f5.6.

David is is playing with us this morning. Good Catch.

Love it Dave!
My wife and I were camping at one of our favorite high lakes here last week and saw this little girl and her seven little ones running about eating peanuts thrown out to them. I used my Nikon D3300 with 70-300mm lens to capture her stuffing her cheeks full.



They're a hoot to watch when we're not blowing up their ground squirrel cousins in the alfalfa.

Yep, and he's a Pennsylvania squirrel.

Here's his secret service squirrel rushing in to help him!

This is an unaltered image, something must have got after him, probably a lonely recluse whose mommy didn't love him

Here's one of the secret service squirrels just ignoring the situation. We feed them and the birds, I had a choice after retirement, take up another hobby besides shooting or hang around the streets and pick on old people.

Yes I just meant you we’re seeing if we caught the joke on the Donald name.

See what I mean? If I don't have something constructive to do I pick on old people!

Here he is from another angle.

Here's Donalds ear from another angle.

'Shooting' these little critters is almost as much fun as doing it with a rifle.....almost.

Also being retired, it gives us a great way to be outside with something to do besides the 'other' stuff that can get us old guys into trouble.

It appears Donald may have run into a .177 cal pellet in the past by the looks of that ear.

They look somewhat tame. In my neck of the woods, the sunflower seeds and corn better be out there every day or this guy makes an appearance.

But I like to hang around the streets and pick on old people.

You may be correct, I believe that they're not in season here but when did that stop a kid with his pellet rifle?

That's an old school squirrel, I bet he drinks out of the garden hose!

I do to but to others it looks as if I'm just talking to myself!

I don't know guys this tree is slanted; I'll just have to stay on the ground.

Yep, and out of the bird bath too. The Enforcer doesn't cut an slack with his brethren either. It's a rough neighborhood.

My wife feeds 4 of them twice a day . One of them will almost come in the house when she opens the back door. I told her she would have a time catching him if she lets him in and he might end up not being her friend.
