Otis- You Have A Caller!
Lens: Bigma 50-500/DA*50-135 Camera: K5 Photo Location: Texas ISO: 3200 Shutter Speed: 1/90s Aperture: F8

I was taking a short nap when I heard Mrs Rupert at her desk window call out "Yohoo! Otis!...come on out, you have a visitor!"

I got up to see who it was......someone Mrs Rupert had invited over for a Sunday afternoon snack.

Don't see these here too often ,Otis' surface to air missiles usually get them when they are still airborne.

Stop that! You're fowling Otis' water!

I know you see me.....just be glad Otis is taking his afternoon nap, or you would be toast!

This was a job for the K5.....Toy Cameras are great, but they won't cut it for wildlife at a distance!

Best Regards!

Thanks guys! I've just about forgotten how to use the K5, I seldom put down my Toy Camera. I just grabbed the K5 and started shooting through a very dirty window...lucky I got anything!

When Otis woke up from his nap, he was furious that this hawk evaded the radar and surface to air missiles he bought at Walmart last Spring....aisle 14 if you need any yourselves!

He located the problem quickly...the Army Squirrel manning the radar unit traded the batteries for a case of Bud Light. Last I saw of him he was being led off into the Woods of Otis toward the hangout of the Devil Squirrel......I doubt he will be coming back.

Regards!
