Really good shots. They posed very nicely for you.

I like these shoots. The first one is my favorite, very sharp. And I want one of those lenses!

thanks the peanuts helped with the posing

Great shots....the second one does look pregnant....
How long did you have to stay still to get these shots??

thanks dawn,actually not very long,we were throwing whole peanuts down on the ground for them and they were picking them up and chomping on them..lol..my uncle and i were taking it in turns throwing and shooting..lol..they were actually quite tame and at one point (after putting my camera away of course..lol) had one sitting at my feet looking up at me

great shots! i love how clear they are.

I was in our local park on Thursday, loads of squirrels but didn't have my 100-400mm with me ! But will be going back now that the weather is gonna be good...must remember to take peanuts LOL...

Man...almost got poked in the eye with the females nips! Great shots. Too bad you couldn't catch them digging through trash...little bastards.

Fabulous! Love them both!

love them
the second barriers on squirrel porn don't ya think LOL

Very cute shots. I'm still trying to get a good squirrel shot lol.
