Chipmunk Encounter at Mud Lake
The Little guy was Doing his Thing Eastern Chipmunk ( Tamias striatus ) was on the shoreline of the Ottawa River performing all kinds of cute acts. He was totally unafraid of the clicking camera & I was able to come quite close to him while he was doing Chipmunk things. To tell the truth this was I believe the first time I have seen one of these little critters yawn, I don't know if he was bored or just tired from the day. I do love to document these little guys for they do the darnedest & cutest acts infant of the camera at times. He was aware of me but just didn't give a damn while he preened & carried on. He was such a nice little surprise at the Britannia Conservation Area, Mud Lake, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The Big Yawn. Playing with his nose. Wishing for more nuts ... possibly ? Very aware of the camera.
