Thanks Adam and Ashish. I don't really know the difference either, I though chipmunks were from the squirrel family anyways, but chances are he is just a squirrel. I will check it out. Thanks for the info, Adam.

Very sweet spotting....

nice photos Krista! I'm really not too knowledgable about the differences between chipmunks and squirrels...but I read something somewhere about chipmunks having stripe patterns on the face and squirrels don't......anyway...so maybe this is young squirrel...but it's cool nonetheless.:)

Oh, did I miss spell it? I didn't even notice. Thank you. I saw it in Rocky Mountain National Park.

Nice one! I corrected the spelling of the common name for you. Where did you see it?
