Ok Im totally stoked by these considering the only camera I had at the time was my Samsung S4! Just leaving the grocery store parking lot when out of the corner of my eye I spot this RTH and thought he was injured. Why else would he be almost in the parking lot? Well he was eating and wasn't moving! I got within 2 feet of him to take these shots! At first I was bummed cause I didnt think I'd get this close. Please check out the downloads! Bob

Thanks! The amazing part was being allowed to get within a foot or two. If I didn't care about my fingers I could have touched him! Bob

great set. they (rth's) must be starving, to let you get so close, after the winter we are going through. i used to like squirrels until one ripped my eave open and tossed my insulation out on to my deck. now, i wish the scene you photographed took place in my backyard. gary

Thanks! You never know what photo ops are going to come your way during the course of a day. One of the reasons I usually have my compact camera with me. Still wish I did! Bob
