Back to the acrobat

This guy never wanted to leave the feeder but was finally spooked by some people who walked by, much to the relief of the birds waiting in line for a bite to eat.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

One for posterity. posted earlier:

Nikon Z 7 ,Nikkor AF-S 300/4E PF ED VR with FTZ adapter
1/320s f/5.6 at 300.0mm iso2000 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Effectivement, toujours près pour nuire à l'alimentation des oiseaux, une superbe photo de cette scène! V

Nice shot this trouble maker.

The bandit in action capture excellent composition. I secure my suit cage so they can not open it and take the whole suet cake. They can open the cages.. Nice sharp shot with excellent bokeh. Vote

They are cute but they can be real hogs around a feeder! V

Excellent capture, Helen. Wonderfully sharp, beautifully composed.

A superb smiler! Beautifully shot, too :)

Claude Gagnon		15-Mar-2022 13:39
It's the same here!! These squirrels always try to find a way to steal some bird's food :))

I have a "dome" baffle over mine to keep the squirrels off. I also hang it upside down to ward off the starlings! That way the woodpeckers and nuthatches can enjoy. :-)

What a wonderful capture. They are clever

They are fun to watch and incredibly acrobatic climbers. I like your tight framing and details in this fun and excellent capture. VV++

He's the food inspector...

Philip P		15-Mar-2022 08:21
He may steal the whole thing in the end!

Nice pose to create some curves for your composition! I imagine the birds were happy to see him leave. Very cute. V

Dan Greenberg		15-Mar-2022 05:27
You caught him in a great pose. Adorable! And very well photographed, as always. ~BV~
