Chipmunk on Stage.....

He isn’t a movie star.  He doesn’t like to pose for me when I take his photo.  They are nearsighted and most times he doesn’t know i am taking his picture. Usually when I first see him in the feeder I think he is a rat but I am so glad that he is not.

He is doing a great job of cleaning up the fallen seed on the concrete patio below the deck. I really have never seen them in the wild, so to speak, and usually saw them at rest areas where they were being fed by the travelers.  If I would buy him some peanuts in the shell, he would be harassing me at the window. Someday I will get a great picture of him but for now he just scurries and runs all of the time.
