This holiday time of year always deserves a chipmunk-in-a-spruce-tree post or two. I took this one back in 2009 in Olympic National Park in Washington. These two chippers were keeping a watchful eye on a nearby black tailed deer. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 380) ISO 400, f/5.6 at 1/640th of a second

This photo cries out for a caption contest,
Here’s one: “Charlie, how long do we have to stay on this stake out. I’m getting cold in this tree.”
If not lords-leaping ,at least chips-a-monking.I know it’s not a pear-I was still hoping for a partridge.
I love it. Really cute little guys!
I think those cuties are looking for Santa!
I like Sally of Gloucester’s challenge. ‘One push – one teensy, tiny push – and this towering spruce tree is mine and mine alone.’
Chipmunk #1 (in back): “Okay, so when the eagle turns his head, you quickly run to distract him and set the decoy. I’ll proceed to grab the
acorn.”
Chipmunk #2 (in front): “That sounds like a plan. Wait!! What??!!”
Awwww. Chi-chi-chi-chip and dale!
Love. Three french hens, two turtle doves and two chipmunks in a Spruce tree.
You scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours.
hilarious!
