grey squirrel

Mostly Ducks, January 2011

Another stroll along the river. I shot so many frames of birds I had to organize them by species so I could reduce the number of duplicates. First to be posted is the leftovers folder: stuff I only shot a few frames of, mostly because I already have lots of shots with similar subjects.
