We live next to the woods, so we have lots of wildlife in our backyard: chipmunks, rabbits, deer, marmots, birds, turtles, an abundance of insects and we are lucky to occasionally see a bobcat too. I put a small birdbath on my winter bird feeding platform to attract even more birds. During this summer I spent some time photographing them and I also tried to take photos of our other visitors. Here is a few images of the wildlife in our backyard.

Gear: Canon EOS 5Ds, Canon 500mm F/4, Gitzo tripod, Manfrotto head. Some photos were taken with my Canon EOS 7D camera and my Canon 300mm F/4 lens
