More exciting mammals would be nice, but squirrels is about all we can find in the suburbs.

I agree not my favorite subjects but damn these shots are nice, real nice. Looks like perfect focus and no noise, wish I could could get some like that

Finding a sweet spot of sharpening and noise reduction in post processing helps a lot.

Thanks.

I've tried twice to put captions on each pic. Not sure why they are not sticking. I give up.

Canada goose. I was intrigued by the concentric color patterns.

Gadwall

Mallard. These are so common here I never cared much for them. But I'm noticing how many ducks have nice fine patterns in their plumage... trying to capture that is my latest challenge.

Egyptian geese
Fox squirrel
Ground squirrel.

Nice set. IMHO the Gadwall is the prize

I see them at many parks and rivers here. I think they were imported years ago for private ponds and now they are all over. The “rings” around their eyes make them easy to spot from a long distance.

Thanks.
