  17. If there is food, they will get to it, no matter what. They are such clever little things, and they don't give up easily.

    Your feathered friends are so pretty, Karen, especially that starling. What beautiful colors.

  20. Beautiful birds. You're such a good photographer to be able to catch those little guys so well up on top of poles.

    I thought you only had exotic black squirrels -- this smart guy looks like the ones I see in Oregon. We have them here in Florida too but they are skinnier..

  22. Fabulous captures! The birds you take photos of seem to stay still long enough for you to capture them. Love seeing the fine details of the fur and feathers.

  35. I not sure the human mind will ever be able to out smart a squirrel! Great pictures.

    I don't see why people post the negative comments - they must just be having a bad day, and need somebody to kick! Say more about them than me.
