We have a "leash law" that cuts down on dog threats, but have a lot of neighborhood cats, and the occasional human, so these wild squirrels are always nervous.? They heard me unlock the window that I shoot through, and headed for the oak tree.? I had to wait a while before they got comfortable again. They like my fenced back yard, though there is a family of them in the front yard, as well. I just keep the lights turned off and try to be quiet, and swivel quietly to be ready for a pose when I see one.? Twenty or thirty snaps per session can keep me busy at the computer for a couple of hours. Thanks for looking.
