Caught this guy stealing seeds from the bird feeder that I put out - nothing real exciting but you can see our RV in the reflection of the little thief's eye - I thought that was pretty good from about 20 feet away with my 400 mm lens-:)

Cute little thief...nice detail Marcy. What's that hair hanging down above the tree rat?

I think it is his tail looped back over his back. They do that to hide themselves from birds of prey from what I have read...

Nice shot! I love the reflection - nice capture!

yeah that is his tail - he is cute but it keeps the birds from coming - and I got my first Titmouse the other day at the feeder - we are in north Texas right now
