Eastern Chipmunk

Love this pic!!

Thanks! The Shubenacadie Canal park is full of squirrels and chipmunks, visitors often feed them so they are very confident around humans. Before getting this photo, I saw a man crouched on the ground surrounded by squirrels and chipmunks, a few of them even crawled on him to be fed. Although I don't agree with feeding wild animals (working at one of the few places nearby that takes in injured wildlife, I saw far too many birds that were fed bread, and small mammals fed cow milk), it is still a neat place to get close to the silly creatures.
