 (After Voting)
November was a bare month for photos for me, but I'd been watching our squirrels jump at this feeder for months and decided I needed to set up where I could get a good angle on the jump hoping to get something for Free Study. This was jump #4 and the Chickadee not just in the frame but in focus was a complete bonus. Glad you all liked it.

Congratulations Jake. This is hilarious and so well captured although I think it is a stronger
shot without the without the bird. It would be an interesting debate. Nevertheless it is brilliant.
