Picture of the Day for September 19, 2015

The chipmunks seem to rule the roost around my place, eating all my raspberries, unearthing my flowers, digging my garden seeds out before they have a chance to grow and apparently they can outwit cats too. A chipmunk kept charging out to the stray cat instead of just hiding in the woods (as seen in the video below) and it eventually got away when the cat left. The next night my Trouble caught one but it got away too and within a few minutes, he had his cheeks stuff full of my produce and chirping away on its perch.

(Sorry for the shaky video but I was photographing a sunset and didn’t have a tripod with me when I came across this scene.)
