Working the Angles

Yellowstone National Park

The Chipmunks' antics are charming and irresistible to any photographer. This one was busy foraging for a meal and almost twisted himself into a pretzel trying to reach his goal. He was stuffing his generous cheek pouches with a variety of insects, nuts, berries, seeds, fruit, and grain to carry away to his burrow or nest to store for his winter food supply. An interesting fact: Although chipmunks hibernate, they do not store fat. Instead they slowly gnaw away at their summer bounty throughout the winter.
