Our Nutty Buddy. We named him Nigel. He came everyday to the cottage deck to see us and was very well fed. We invented a whole life story for him and hoped the Mrs. and kiddies were happy with all the fantastic food he brought home every night! / Clear Lake ,Ontario CANADA, August 2009 / Nikon D40, Nikkor VR 55-200mm lens
As you can see Nigel continued to entertain us and was a source of amusement the whole week we were there. / Clear Lake ,Ontario CANADA, August 2009 / Nikon D40, Nikkor VR 55-200mm lens
“Chipmunks are small squirrel-like rodents of the genus Tamias. They are native to North America and Asia. Tamias is Greek for “storer,” a reference to the animals’ habit of collecting and storing food for winter use. At the beginning of autumn, many species of chipmunk begin to stockpile these goods in their burrows, for winter. Other species make multiple small caches of food. These two kinds of behavior are called larder hoarding and scatter hoarding. Larder hoarders usually live in their nests until spring. Chipmunks have an omnivorous diet consisting of grain, nuts, birds’ eggs, small frogs, fungi, worms, and insects. Chipmunks construct expansive burrows which can be more than 3.5 m in length with several well-concealed entrances. The sleeping quarters are kept extremely clean as shells and feces are stored in refuse tunnels. These small mammals fulfill several important functions in forest ecosystems. Their activities harvesting and hoarding tree seeds play a crucial role in seedling establishment. They consume many different kinds of fungi, including those involved in symbiotic mycorrhizal associations with trees and serve as prey for a variety of animals and birds but are predators themselves particularly with regards to bird eggs and nestlings.” / ~Wikipedia Clear Lake ,Ontario CANADA, August 2009 / Nikon D40, Nikkor VR 55-200mm lens Featured ImageWriting September 2009

10/2/09 ~ Featured in Squirrels and Chipmunks ~ Thank you ♥ / Chippy is still stocking up…. he usually disappears in early November so he has about 6 weeks til hibernation! This was taken the evening of 9/20/09 on my back porch. His fur looked so soft and pretty. I added a few acorns that just began falling from our oak trees. Chippy loves them as much as peanuts and hazelnuts. Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XSi / F stop: F/5.0 Exposure: 1/200 sec.
