I think the Chipmunks win the "Cute Contest" every time.
Why don't we look cute when we are stuffing our faces?
Once again, there were three bunnies to greet me...
...and a rather demanding Steller's Jay too!
I ended up with a large group of Mourning Doves as well.
Here's why one should not have a Chipmunk as a pet - look at the claws on the wee beastie.
On the front porch, seated comfortably on a mullein, this Anna's Hummingbird scolded me something fierce.
Here's the reason why - I was too close to the Witch Hazel.
I backed up, and everyone was happy (if blurry) once again.
How many sunflower seeds can Chip eat?
Wow - those nails on Chip look like they could use a manicure - LOL!! And you are right, he does take the prize for cuteness!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos of nature.
ReplyDeleteI love the expression on the jay's face.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, as always. What lens are you using?
ReplyDeleteP.S. I think Chip can eat/store an unlimited number of sunflower seeds. That seems to be what happens here.

How do you get so close to the chipmunks. I don't know what I love more...the wildlife or the needlework. Have you seen the kits I got recently. I'm not sure if you follow my blog or not but would love for you to check mine out. Your blog is hands down my favorite. I love the new charts you have gotten for this year.
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing Mr Chip and his friends! They are all so cute! Great pictures! We had a chipmunk living in a piule of firewood. We would not take wood from his stack.. We called it the Chipmunch Commune!! lol They are so fun to watch!
ReplyDeleteA very enjoyable post. I love seeing wildlife photos especially of species that we don't see in the UK.
ReplyDeleteI forget, I wanted to ask what camera and lens you use fir your nature shots.
ReplyDeleteLuyy you that you have a lens that lets you take those close ups undisturbed. Those chipmunks are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love all of these, Beth, but yes, the chipmunks are my favorites. Who can resist those chubby cheeks--I just want to pinch them :)
ReplyDeleteI love chipmunks, even with their not so wee beastie claws! It seems I always live in an area with squirrels, and chipmunks don't do so well against them.
