Squirrels & Birds

I used to dislike these rodents. They would try to get on to my bird feeder and eat all the seeds. I would categorize them in the rat family because they are, well, IN the rat family. However, I have learned, by watching them over the past 6 months, that they are very interesting creatures and can be cute at times. I like them now, and I even supply food for them just as I supply food for the birds in our back yard. I took these pictures, as I take almost all of my back yard pictures, by hanging (safely, I assure you) out of my bedroom window. The squirrels were about 20-25 feet away and about 20 feet down from my window. I used the Zuiko 70-300 lens with the Olympus E-3 for these pictures. I know they're redundant, but not much else was going on down there today and besides, for most of the day, there was an abundant supply of light. Thanks for looking.
