I was surprised to see first 1 then 4 young ground squirrels pop up in our backyard. Eventually 6 young ones came out. Shot through glass.

Cute! I like it that the eyes of all individuals are visible, which is always a challenge with multiple subjects. I only wonder why you shot through glass if this was in your backyard :confused:

Vincent,

I shot this through a window of our bedroom, which looks out into the backyard. Our yard has a tall wooden fence around it and I knew if I went out into the backyard they would all go back into the burrow before I could get a shot of them.
