chipmunks
Delicious treasure
This fearless little guy couldn’t care less how close I got so I managed some amazing pictures
Little too close for comfort
Camping at the Adirondack loj and this chipmunk kept trying to jump into my tent. I didn't have any food, so my coworker cailand and I agreed that chipmunks just like me.
Tree Frog Resting in White Pine
I was walking on the Kip Track, practicing Tree ID for my biology class, when this tree frog caught my eye. It was resting sleepily in a big fissure in a white pine tree. He hardly moved as I took photo after photo of him. I also got a couple photos of a chattering chipmunk.
Heritage park
I love getting an up close view of animals in their natural habitat!
Birds, bugs, and bullfrogs at Indian Creek Nature Center
A morning bird walk with Sue Wilson of St. Lawrence University and the NNY Audubon Society led to encounters with many species of birds (but few good pictures of them), dragonflies and damselflies, chipmunks, bullfrogs, and mosquitoes. The bird in the second photo is an American Red Start.
Hey! You forgot your lunch!
While climbing the rocks we heard the warning chirp of the chipmunk. We climbed up to see we realized we had disturbed his meal.
Chipmunk Hideaway
This little chipmunk was firmly ensconced in the hollow of a tree in front of Vilas Hall, while several of his friends were scampering about below in the ivy. There seem to be LOTS of chipmunks about this year....unless they are only haunting (stalking?) me.....
