That’s a great submission for the hunt! I’ve been to Davenport, Iowa! My best friend lives in Illinois not too far away from the Quad Cities. :) This week is my first photo hunt, come check it out if you get a chance. Have a great weekend!
November 10th, 2007 at 1:25 pmbeautiful shots. Love that stuffed mouth and those little skittering feet. Did you know that chipmunks are cannibals? when i learned that they quickly became little monsters to me instead of little chip n’ dales!
November 10th, 2007 at 2:06 pmThat jaw looks pretty flexible too!
November 10th, 2007 at 3:10 pmIt’s a cute little one! always busy and oh, so flexible! great choice for this week’s theme.
November 10th, 2007 at 3:39 pmThis are great photos for the theme! Nice job!
November 10th, 2007 at 5:26 pmThis little guu is so cute!!! Adorable little animal!
November 10th, 2007 at 5:48 pmCute little ground squirrel photos!
November 10th, 2007 at 10:37 pmSo you have posted eventually – was peeking in a few times yesterday (our time here). Lucky shot, unless you spent a few hours on guard ;-)
Lovable thief. I have caught a real fatso this year in Utah (I believe so, at least, it was a busy trip):

Cheers.
November 11th, 2007 at 2:28 amI bet they are seen as little quties but can be a real pest.
Cheers Mark
November 11th, 2007 at 7:39 amWhat a fabulous photograph. I have never seen a real chipmunk. sara from farmingfriends
November 11th, 2007 at 3:10 pmI know some folks don’t like chipmunks, but I think they’re adorable! Great shot :-)
Thanks for visiting!
November 11th, 2007 at 7:07 pmThanks for all the comments!
November 16th, 2007 at 8:27 pmI live in SE Iowa. They are the very cutest of cute little mammals. However, they wreck havoc with tulip bulbs (they love them!). So… I’m not always very appreciative if there are very many of them around.
November 18th, 2007 at 9:04 pmYeah, these guys can be a pest. They dig at the base of the roses, etc. But cute!
November 18th, 2007 at 9:27 pmThey’re called CHIPMUNKS! STOP SAYING GROUND SQUIRRELS! :-)
August 31st, 2008 at 4:12 pmGuess you’ve never been to Iowa ;)
September 21st, 2008 at 1:08 amBonjour, j ai un ecureuil sauvage et comment enlever sa peur merci
January 29th, 2011 at 5:28 amI understand chipmunks can also wreck havoc with house foundations with there burrowing down around the walls. This comes from a Basement wall/foundation repair business.
I was raised on a farm and we had little critters in the pasture that lived in burrows. They would dart and run for their burrow hole anytime we came near. I learned from others in the Midwest to call them Squinnies. They are different from the little Chipmunks we now have in our backyard in the City. Chipmunks are much cuter and their tails curl up over their backs. The squinnie is not as cute and its tail trails straight out behind them.
June 21st, 2011 at 9:16 pmIs my so called squinnie also a chipmunk or a ground squirrel? Does anyone have pictures of each critter that I mention.
