I took this shot several weeks ago when 3 out of 4 baby squirrels were all trying to look out of the doorway to their nest:D :lol: at the same time.

very nice pictures. What zoom did you use. I tried once with my 300mm, but the squirrel was little too quick for me (also had super shake, having not used a tripod and moving target).

No doubt we'll be seeing the further adventures of the "New Back Yard Squirrelagins..."
Nice looking shot with good CUTENESS factor.

Thanks and I used a Canon 400mm F5.6L on a Manfroto 190 CL Tripod. at 1/100 sec at F5.6 and ISO was 500... I got quite a few shots prior to and after this one. My biggest advantage though was that this hole is only 20-25 feet outside my second floor bathroom window so the angle is very slight as well.

Lovely captures indeed. I really like the second one. It looks very cosy in there.

Gary, you are the king of cute rodent shots! I dont know how you make these little hell raisers look so adorable! If there is a squirrel lobby, you are the guy they should vote to be in charge of marketing !!
