This chipmunk was very funny to watch. He popped up out of his burrow, scampered across and under some piled up dead vegetation, then raced back toward me at full tilt. He screeched to a halt (when I took this photo), looking up at me, then he ran beside me, turned around, raced back toward me and for a second it looked like he was going to climb my leg! Eventually, he wandered off, but quite slowly. He only picked up speed again when a red squirrel appeared and gave chase.
