When I pull into my driveway I get a nice clear view of one of our bird feeders. Normally as soon as I open my car door, the birds fly away.
Yesterday I pulled up and this is what I saw......
I usually keep my camera in my purse so I took it out and quickly tried to get a shot before he jumped back out of the feeder and ran away.....but he didn't run away. He just sat there looking at me. So I kept inching closer.....
He kept his little eyes on me and tried not to move a muscle or twitch a whisker.....
I got up right next to the feeder and kept snapping shots. He just sat there like he was posing for a magazine spread! When I got up right next to the feeder I started to fear that he might jump out right on me...but he didn't.
I took these pictures at 4:10 p.m. and at 4:45 p.m. little Mr. Chipmunk was STILL INSIDE THE BIRD FEEDER! Happy I could provide him with such a fine and filling meal!

Lovely! "..like he was posing for a magazine.."
haha! i love chipmunks--they are so bold and cute and they make me smile when they sit up and scold me when i'm out walking. glad you got the pictures and shared them ;-)
Hahaha, how cute! :)
What a rascal!
By then he had probably gained half his body weight! Funny photo.
Cute....cute...cute!!
I guess he really liked your home cookin! lol! That silly little critter. He must have really been hungry to stay there that long.

That was nice.

how cute. i was beginning to wonder if he was stuck. i've never seen a chipmunk up close. we see lots of squirrels but never chipmunks.
I hope he was able to get out after his meal. He probably had a very full tummy - and cheeks!
A chipmunk! I had no idea what that was! I have never seen a chipmunk in my life! How cute!!!
My wife has bird feeders outside too. And the squirrels attack that food like there is no tomorrow. It's a daily occurrence here. I think we spend more money feeding the critters than we do for the birds.
He's still in side. Sheesh, he must be really hungry :-)

I always ask--how can I chase them out of the bird feeder when they're hungry?!?!? Great story Kathy! Love how you were able to get closer!
