1dmk2, 1/1250 at f10, iso400, 300f2.8 plus x, hh. 50% crop. I'm not sure what the antelope squirrels were doing last Sat., but it's the first time I've seen them up in the rabbitbrush like this, I was looking for quail at the time, and I haven't seen them since. All comments appreciated.

Pretty fascinating behavior Renae...not to mention darn cute. Great setting for his little scouting mission. I like that stretch of the hind leg. Nice lighting and comp too.

Very, very neat! Definitely looks like he(she?) is on an adventure and scouting out the route. Makes me think of "The Rescuers"!
