Don't worry I don't scare easily.

Here's two from this week even though I put out the sap, the second preferred sunflower seeds. I think sometimes, they like the sap to cure before eating it.

That's a fact here too Photolady. Glad you are back safely and no squirrels tried to"kill you"!

Sadly, I've had to rummage thru the archives to scavenge for squirrel shots. All I found was a mangy Grand Canyon ground squirrel, who was not shy at all. Here he is, munching on a Pringle...

I like it Paul, but really like the Grand Canyon one where the squirrel is looking up that dress...find it and post it again..Otis loved it!

Nice shot of a handsome fellow! We do appreciate any squirrel shots you can get and post here. Unlike some threads where you can get neglected, everyone that posts a squirrel shot here is a hero and a worthy shooter! Billions of squirrels monitor this thread 24/7!

Here is a really old shot in 2008 with the K10D..Yep, I've been shooting squirrels a long time!

Looks like it's about to jump at her


A squirrel having a snack of fresh black oil sunflower seeds this morning. With a new puppy next door, my squirrels are not wanting to come around. I may have to plant a peanut butter sap tree.

Yep...that squirrel was most certainly "Otis trained"!

Black oil sunflower seeds...their very favorite around here! A peanut tree is a good idea, you can buy them at Walmart in the Garden Dept!

Neat shots! Otis would love the tire......he burns millions of them to help increase global warming...which is why we had no winter here this year. The black smoke is pretty bad, some days I can barely see outside, but it is plenty warm! Otis swears that by next winter he will have it warm enough for squirrels to skinny dip in January and drink cold beer 365 days a year!

"I need a cold beer to wash this down!"



Regards & Squirrels thank everyone for the great shots recently posted!

Fresh sap out this morning and I got a few shots but then that's all I've gotten because a Red Shouldered Hawk pair showed up.

Photolady, buy your squirrels some bagpipes and they will never see another raptor again...Otis guarantees!

Be sure you get some earplugs for yourself, you will need them!
