I think I've mentioned this before, but sometimes when taking action shots I don't actually know what the end results are going to look like. Take Douglas Squirrel 15 for example. In this photograph it looks like this Douglas' Squirrel is doing a super hero pose. If you don't know what that is, type in "super hero pose" into your favorite search engine. It basically looks similar to this Squirrel, as if it came in for a cool landing.
In reality, this Douglas' Squirrel was scratching itself with it's hind leg. That's what it was doing when I was taking a burst of photographs. It wasn't until I reviewed the images that I noticed this cool pose.

After the Sun had already set I stuck around Manzanita Lake in Mt. Lassen to watch a family of Deer. This particular juvenile looked up to see what its sibling was eating over in the tall grass.

This Douglas’ Squirrel was very curious of me when it saw me from a distance. I was hiding behind this fallen tree that that you can see in the photo. The Squirrel was a distance away on the opposite side so I would duck down to take photos of it. It happened to come closer to me as it was picking through things on the ground when it spotted my movements.
It stood up curiously and started moving closer to me. As it was nearing me, I slowly backed away. The squirrel climbed up on the fallen tree that I was ducking behind so I knelt down and took a bunch of shots at it as it was checking me out. This is one of those photos.

The Squirrel in the back is a juvenile and the one in the front is an adult. They were chasing each other around quite a bit.

While it looks like this Douglas’ Squirrel is just chilling on the branch, it was actually scratching its face. It laid down on its belly and rubbed its face from one side of the branch to the other to scratch its cheeks and chin. But in this particular frame it looks like it is just resting.
