I Startled A Squirrel

Here are a couple of other shots I got last weekend a little closer to the surface. Often times I am shooting a shot of one thing and another opportunity presents itself. I was focused on a hawk and this squirrel ran up the tree next to me and started barking. Hand held at 500mm in full sun I took three quick pictures and was back to the hawks. The bottom picture is a Double Crested Cormorant, a diving bird similar to a duck but can dive in deep water and stay submerged looking for fish for quite some time. This one is showing some fashionable eyelashes!
