A recurring visitor to our bird feeders are the Northern Gray Squirrels who frequently gorge themselves on bird feed. Not shy about hopping right up and helping themselves, they typically play nicely with most of the birds, while the Blue Jays will assert themselves and drive the squirrels away.

I had put out bird seed to attract the birds one Spring weekend for photographing. This Norther Gray Squirrel ignored my presence and strolled up and began feasting. This allowed me to take a number of close-up photos with the Canon 7D Mark II and the Canon EF 100-400MM F/4.5-5.6L IS USM.
Thanks for stopping by today!
Here are few of the Gray Squirrels I've kept well-fed throughout the Winter. They really enjoy the nuts and black sunflower seeds I put out for the birds.
The color images are slightly edited in Adobe Lightroom, while the black and white image is post-process in Nik Software's Silver Efex Pro II.
Have a great day!
