Eastern Chipmunk 9-25-2011 Lincoln Co. KY.

Tamias striatus - Tamias is Greek for "storer," a reference to the animals' habit of collecting and storing food for winter use. (Wikipedia)

 

This attractive little animal (or one of its family members) has been observed around the yard for several years. I finally took a few decent photos Sunday.
