Squirrels enjoying lunch after the storm

[Nate]

Thought I'd take a few pics of some of the wild animals that come to my yard, they are actually very nice. They only come to my door or window if I forget to feed them.

 

Had to use high iso for these, very cloudy. Used Canon T7 FS, with Baader U/zwb1 filters and EL Nikkor 80mm. Shots were iso1600, and .13 sec. These were taken though a glass door too, so quality isn't the best.

Very dark ears. Are these gray squirrels in visible light?

@Andy Perrin Here's the visible

Here's another, Sometimes their head is dark and sometimes not.

This one was waiting patiently for some peanuts only.

Wonderful photos, Nate.

It is never easy to get UV photos of animals.

 

This last one is the cutest thing. Love it.

It almost looks like there is UV-bright striping on top of its arms.

Thanks Andrea, These guys are lots of fun to watch. I have one of my security cams on them 24 7. Rabbits are the nocturnal ones I'd like to get some pics of.

I like the last patient cuppy squirrel the best.

So I guess you don't invest in those throwing squirrel contraptions to stop the squirrels from eating bird sead from a bird feeder. Those things seemed the rage years ago.

We have had mouse problems,  so we don't feed the birds.

Thanks @lukaszgryglicki

 

Haha @dabateman Na, all animals are free to eat whatever and fight over it too. Even had a Moose in the yard one year eating off the Hazelnut tree behind him. Too bad I didn't have ant cameras back then.
