Next time please do not feed them. You will be doing them a big favour!

Finally someone said Chipmunk, I thought I was brought up wrong. I have seen chipmunks called squirrels twice and I thought maybe in other countries that is what they call them. Very nice shots. My daughter had all her Tulip bulbs eaten by them one year.
