They are startlingly cute, fast as lightning, and cunning little thieves. While I was in Michigan last week practicing shooting birds (with a camera), I saw dozens of chipmunks racing around below the feeders – the one above fearlessly raced across the top of my foot to get to the bounty of sunflower seeds and suet.
Cheeks so full he is weighted down by them and must rest his weary bones on the metal rail before cramming another 50 seeds and moving on.
Gazing across the meadow – are their other feeders out there to conquer?
Master of all he surveys.
Fitting that last seed into inflated little cheeks – seriously, why not just eat the seeds to make more room in the cheeks?
A profile pose – balance on the fence rail must require extreme concentration!
He stops for a rest – and takes a moment to play his tiny harmonica.
He has had enough and suggests that our photo shoot come to a close.
Alas, so my blog must also end…

I have nominated you for the Very Inspiring Blogger and the 7 x 7 award at http://www.godisiam.net
Loving these guys. ❤

I can’t stop looking at his feet! Do you think he’s taking some food back to share with others or do you think he hogs it all?
I wonder if they share, I’ve never seen them in social groups or pairs like you see squirrels or raccoons. I bet he hogs it all!
Yeah, he probably brings it back to show everybody and then eats it in front of them. My dog does the same. Food must taste better when it’s coveted 🙂
I’ve tagged you in one of my posts: http://beetleandswan.wordpress.com/2012/06/05/its-a-crime-that-there-are-no-pictures-forgive-me/
It has no relation to photos, but I felt pressured!
Peer pressure – you caved 🙂
What a cutie!
Super cute!
Great Photos – loved the stuffed cheeks!
You take awesome photos, especially considering your subjects!
