Miscellaneous Wildlife

[dpc]

Not too much to snap around here at the moment, so I decided to do an informal portrait of one of the neighbours: Richardson's ground squirrel (known around here erroneously as a gopher) playing peek-a-boo with me this morning.

I've got a little lizard here darting around right off my front steps

Honestly I don't think there is "miscellaneous life" but I understand what dpc mean and I accept it...
The last two shots are two consecutive in interval of 1/30s .

And one more...

I ran into a beaver in the middle of a city park! Not shy at all...

Very special picture, this one, ISv! The body stands out nicely against the greyish bark and with that menacing look...
Although the jumping frog in the previous series has its humourous charm as well ;D

Charming fella Was there a pond in the park - he's so wet so he can't have been out of the water that long...

First - thanks to everyone!
Wiebe you probably know but just in case: these frogs are poisonous in their original habitats. Here it looks like they are not - they miss the proper assortment of insects to accumulate the toxins. Very small (2-3 cm) and shy, hard to spot.

clbayley - it looks like that one likes your camera !
