Photos from the deck today

Here's the squirrel looking directly at the camera in an intense close-up.

Other photos from the deck, the rest of birds, as i practiced with the telephoto.


I took over 130 photos, 2.3 GB, and culled them down to these six.

Shared the set with a couple of friends, who both found the squirrel threatening for some reason - I think s/he's cute :-) The ornithologist thought an Anna's Hummingbird :-)

They are definitely Anna's. I think the squirrel found *me* ominous and threatening. I'm going to leave the camera on the tripod near the door so critters can get used to it.

Once giving me a good look over, the squirrel decided i wasn't and i spent a great deal of the time observing birds while listening to the squirrel gleaning fallen birdseed.
