_MG_2608 Flying Squirrel

A first for me! Since I found my hanging bird feeder, hummingbird feeder and new swivel top bird feeder assaulted and mostly emptied this morning, I decided to put on the very dim deck lights and see if I could catch a thief. Turned the ISO to 3200 on my 20D and put on my fast long lens, the f/1.8 85mm - not really long enough, but I cropped severely. I turned the noise reduction up to 50 in Adobe Camera Raw and then used Noise Ninja after the image was process. Selected only the squirrel and sharpened it severely. Taken, of course, through my sliding door. Click on "next" for another view.

Good catch. Don't think we have any of those around here.

great shot! Silly question... Do they actually fly?

Don't believe I've ever seen one even though they are around. Lucky You.
