Grey Squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis)

With poor light this morning and a heavy mist shrouding the landscape, this Grey Squirrel obliged by posing perfectly. Good job, too, because the long and heavy 400mm lens was hand-held at just 1/100th second. The absence of camera/motion blur is sheer luck.

Canon 1Ds MkIII, Canon 100-400mm IS USM L-series lens, 1/100th sec, f/5.6, 400mm at ISO 640
