Porcupine (and a flying rat)

This might be the same porcupine I got pictures of last year up in a tree 100-200 yards from the tree I saw it in yesterday.. only have the 70-300, and with lots of tree limbs

Last year's shot's, less trouble with tree limbs but underexposed the dark body

Yesterdays' shots.. I purposely blew out the trees and sky a bit remembering last year's dark shots, I really should carry a flash in my pocket and/or get a better beamer to put on that flash for these types of shots.

Funny that I had a bunch of people stop along the trail and to see what I was aiming at with the camera, when usually they just keep walking.

The flying rat I mentioned also

Nice captures...second series is exposed much better!!

Much better exposure and sharpness this time around. Thanks for sharing them.

Wonderful shots, Love that porcupine!

ya.. much better exposure. Look at the size of those claws!

Nice job, I keep an eye out for these fellows but so far haven't gotten a shot at one.
