Two For Tuesday
There are days when we see lots of Chipmunks in our yard, and days when we feel lucky to have seen just one.
They are extremely territorial so on the days when the yard seems overrun with them, if/when one of them sees another one they are constantly chasing each, charging with tail erect, to shoo the intruder away and claim victory.
SO, it's a rare treat to see two of them relatively close to each other, like these two, eating in peace. Of course that doesn't mean the chasing commenced moments after this shot was taken.
