Attack Chipmunk!

I don't have any pets but I do have a number of wild animals that hang around my yard. Whenever I open my back door a couple squirrels and two chipmunks usually come running. The squirrels always stop a few feet away, but the chipmunks will jump right up on my leg in their eagerness to get free handouts of peanuts. Last year one of the squirrels did this too!

Hey, neat shot. I like how tame the little guy is. While feeding chipmunks at Hilda seated on a stool, I've had the occasional one climb up my back only to realize there's no peanuts up there. That I'm not the peanut tree. Being the smart little critters they are, quickly climb back down for a handout and I don't have to buy a new shirt. .

That is lovely, how good to see that you don't chase them away. Our local mammalian wildlife consists of mainly red squirrels, hares, roe deer and wild boar!

Adorable and brave little creature.

I just love this! None of my backyard squirrels approach me! This particular shot is absolutely priceless. The look of sheer determination is so cute, and just think, climbing your leg must be like scaling Everest for such a little guy!

Oh my gosh... this is amazing! Keep the peanuts coming! You don't want them to get mad and take a chunk out of your leg...

This is an amazing capture, I think you have another career option, "chipmunk whisperer"!

How cool! That is so awesome. I'd love to be able to do that but we have no chipmunks and very few squirrels in my neighborhood. :)

Adorable! I love these little guys. We have them in the mountains. Watch out or they'll steal your lunch.

That is so cool !!!! Nice capture,Chris. I think it is great that a wild animal has this much trust in a human. My hat is off to you!
