Flying Squirrel

Thieving squirrel scatters the birdseed running for the safety of the trees.

Haha! "I've been caught! Oh nooo!"

What a fantastic capture.

Oh great capture!

[Esther Rosenberg]

Great action shot. They make the funniest moves to get away!

[jackie edwards]

superb action! that scattering seed makes it more dynamic! I'm sure he came back to clean it up.

What a super catch - I keep trying to catch him when he makes his escape, but haven't managed it yet. This is great!

Awesome timing!

Caught in the act, great action shot.

Amazing picture! how long were you there for? and did you take this with continuous mode or great timing with a fast shutter?

[Anja]

Great action shot!

Thanks everybody!
To answer Paul's question: This is shot from inside our picture window, the bird feeder is maybe 20 ft away. I was poised and ready, with ISO cranked up high enough to support 1/1000th second exposure (on a grey day) and camera set to fast-burst mode. The key thing was my wife knocking on the window to startle the squirrel while I started the burst. This was the "winner" out of the resultant 6 or 7 shots.

Our squirrels do the same thing. This is a terrific capture.
