Small Mammals

[ISv]

While trying to get some jumping spider images I found my first Merriam's Chipmunk den. Five little ones but only had decent shots with four at any point(also near midday).

A floppy eared individual.

And a trio a few days later.

Not that "Small Mammal" but for sure a great portrait!

I guess I should start a new thread for bigger hairballs

Great shots! Nicely done, Noreaster.

Fully agree

I suppose, there should be enough, but feel free to do so.
Even though that deer isn't small, the portrait is great and worth posting it.

As the weather turns warmer, water in the southwest becomes more of a draw. On a seldom used road in the park, a small spring has broken through the pavement over the years and provides a small pool of water near some low bushes. I had laid down to minimize the 'pavement' aspect with the visiting birds and had a Long-tailed Weasel come bounding in along the side.

And while there was a bumper crop of these guys this year, still fun to watch the juveniles start to forage on their own.

And a Merriam's Chipmunk with a Palmers Lilac 'taco'.

And just out of the den and enjoying a Black Oak tassel.

Beautiful shots, ERHP. I really like the first one. Well done!

Agreed, that first little creature is very cool and the ground perspective made for a real nice image.

I must have looked like a wildlife pro using a 600mm + 1.4X TC to capture this front yard bunny at 25 feet...

The result is pretty much like from a Pro wildlife photog! Only the object is not what the Pro will waste it's time for (well, who knows...)! What you did use to take the photo is your very own choice: what matters is the result!

Thanks! My wife has been enjoying that rabbit's antics for a couple of weeks, so it was time for a portrait session.
