An Afternoon at the Park

[jeffashman]

Managed to get myself out of the house. Bright sunny day, mild temperatures, and a long walk. I went more for the exercise, but brought the Tamron 18-400mm just in case I spotted Sasquatch or a Unicorn...

Adorable squirrel shot! Is this a new lens for you?

Thanks! No, it's my trusty Tamron 18-400mm. The goal of my walk was exercise more than birding (or squirreling) and the Tamron is nice and lightweight for that purpose.

Nice ones.

I love those red fox squirrels. They're friendly and engaging - the only ones who come up to my patio door and peer in.

Cute set!

Thanks! I used to have one that would peer over the patio roof at me and watch me work, or it was trying to tell mat the feeder was empty... Now I use it as my avatar at work. In fact...

Great squirrel shot. You can tell by my avatar that I am a squirrel fan too. This little guy in my avatar was at a camp site a couple years ago, and he was determined to get to my lunch sitting on top of the picnic table I was sitting at.

They can get quite bold. I noticed that about the squirrels at the Grand Canyon.
