For me, the routine where the red squirrels hang upside down to grab a nut from out of the water is the most complex thing I have seen them doing. This behavior is driven by necessity because they don't like water. Squirrels have strong hind legs and a sturdy tail that helps them balance. When food sources are scarce or competition is high, squirrels may resort to more inventive methods to access food.

The act of a squirrel hanging upside down demonstrates their problem-solving skills and their physical capabilities. It involves a combination of balance, strength, and precise coordination. The squirrel must accurately judge the distance to the water, maintaining its grip on the branch they reach for the nut with precision.

I try to behave as calmly and quietly as possible. I avoid talking loudly or making abrupt noises that could alarm the squirrels. Of course, my favorite part is spending time observing squirrels from a distance to understand their patterns and behaviors. The more time I invest in watching them, the better I can predict their next movement and capture candid shots.

Each photographer has a unique way of seeing the world, providing me with a wealth of inspiration for developing my own creative vision. Remember that while it's helpful to learn from the masters, true creativity comes from finding your voice and applying your personal touch to your photography. I follow many good photographers, but I capture images true to my own personal emotion and feeling. My feeling is joy and laughter.
I will never forget the moment I could photograph 2 juvenile red squirrels on the same feeder.
