A Full Pouch

I got several shots of this little chipmunk helping himself to the spilled seed under the bird feeders but was surprised to see this one with his bulging cheek when i uploaded. I thought he was eating but he was storing!

[Kay Hodges]

So cute and great focus

[👑 AnaZad]

This chipmunk is adorable, and love those cheeks... LOL. Great capture, Katy.

[Françoise]

Nice capture, Katy.

@kbird61 @kiwiflora @anazad511 Thank you so much! He was fun to watch which I seem to spend lots of time doing these days.

[Claire]

Oh goodness imagine having these in the wild, I only ever see them in pet shops here! Such a super cute shot, clearly hungry or maybe has babies to feed

[Maggiemae]

He should be called chipmump and not chipmunk!

[Jason Daniels]

OMG! That is so cool! What is it? Looks like a Squirrel with fat cheeks?

[katy]

@claireuk Thanks, Claire. He is a part of our morning entertainment around the feeders.

[katy]

@maggiemae LOL! You have such a clever mind. What a perfect name for him!

[katy]

@bobfoto Did you READ the explanation?! It is a chipmunk. Have you never seen one before? I think he is a cutie even if he is a rodent too.

[Laurie]

Snow is in the forecast....all chipmunks run to your local bird feeders and fill 'em up!!!

[Rick Schies]

He will be back, and probably with a few friends.

[Leslie]

so cute !!!!! my chipmunk is so quick I haven't been able to get a decent picture of him....

[Sheila]

Oh, my. That is one cute chipmunk!!

[Jo Henn]

Such a cute chipmunk! Great capture!

[Darlene]

What a cute shot, Katy. Looks like the ground squirrels at our park. Love to see their cheeks all fat from storing what they take in till later when they actually eat it. FAV

[Jason Daniels]

@grammyn - i did and i didn't understand. He's a rodent? So a fat rat?

[J. Voorberg]

excellent shot

[katy]

@luvmynynix LOL. funny, but no snow around here

[katy]

@digitalrn So far we have only seen the one unless they are taking turns and then I would not be able to tell.

[katy]

@lesip Thanks!! I have been trying for months to get a decent shot and he finally obliged me with a few moments of staying in one spot for a while.

[katy]

@swguevin I am so glad you think so, Sheila. Thanks!

[katy]

@johenn Thanks a bunch, Jo. I appreciate it.

[katy]

@darsphotos Thanks Darlene,, especially for that FAV!

[katy]

@bobfoto Yes a rodent! No not a fat rat! Have you never heard of Chip and Dale or of Alvin!?

[katy]

@jayberg Thanks, Jay. I am limited in scope so must make the best of what is available.

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Limited scope indeed!!!! Another terrific shot dear girl!

[Marilyn Wigen]

Fab! Love the "monotone-ness" of all the browns and beiges and golds and the crop is perfectly balanced! You rock! :)

[katy]

@ruthmouch You are so very kind with your praise!! Thanks. (;

[katy]

@marilyn Oh how I have missed your critiques!! Thanks.

[Jason Daniels]

@grammyn - My mum went to see some Chips and Dales when they toured Australia many years ago... I had NFI what was going on. I just stayed at home and watched Star Wars or something on my VCR.

[Gillian]

Such a cutie! Love the bulging cheeks!

[MaryBeth Dailey]

What a glutton! But a cute glutton

[Lisa Poland]

Too cute!

[katy]

@bobfoto LOL ! That is an entirely different animal and I would LOVE. To be able to feature THEM here!!! (;

[katy]

@bobfoto Somehow I knew you were going to come back with that too!!!

[katy]

@kwiksilver Thanks, Gillian!me too.

[katy]

@espyetta I agree. It doesn't bother me a bit that he is a rodent!

[katy]

@homeschoolmom Thanks, Lisa for the view, comment and the follow!

[Susan]

Reminds me of when my husband chewed tobacco. Lol!

[katy]

@spair Ewww! I know what you mean though!! (;

[Jan K]

He is very cute! I love his stuffed little face - storing up the snacks for later. Nice catch.

@spair - eeewwww - LOL - wouldn't have been keen on seeing that...

[katy]

@jankoos Thanks, Jan. it was a nice bonus to see that fat little cheek when I uploaded.

[Diane]

So cute! Neat you captured him with his cheeks full.

[katy]

@eudora That was a HA(happy accident). I didn't notice until after I uploaded. Thanks so much for taking the time.

[m9f9l]

I always knew chipmunks were cheeky little buggers! Know I can see it :-)

[katy]

@m9f9l Crackin' me up!
