The Godfather of the Chipmunks & New Life

There is a whole family of chipmunks living in the fence behind our house.I can' t even remember how long I have been trying to get a picture of any of them especially this one .We call him the "God Father" because he is so big.He looks more like a guinea pig than a chipmunk.




Here he is a little closer.See his big ol head.

Out and about in the backyard camera in hand I look up admiring the big oak tree that canopies our backyard.It always amazes me because it is so big ,not only tall but how far it stretches out over our yard.I also think if the wind ever blows it down we won't have a house left .Any way as I was gawking up in the air I notice two little birds.Looking through my camera lens I zoomed in and there they were ,they had built a little nest in a hole in the tree.I sure hope the little ones first attempt at flying is successful it is a long way down.

Here they are posing for the camera.

This is a picture of some more bird activity going on around here.A Robin has built a nest in the Saucer Magnolia tree out side our living room window.She has gotten so use to me watching her she just acts like I am not even there.I took this picture through the window.

Hope you have enjoyed the pictures as much as I have sharing them with you.

Best Wishes
