Wildlife: enjoying the morning meal

LEAST CHIPMUNK, ELBOW RIVER PROVINCIAL RECREATION AREA, ALBERTA

I was photographing the river in this western Canadian province when I couldn’t help but notice these chipmunks perched on various boulders enjoying fresh vegetation, grains and seeds.
So we spent some time together and I was blessed to make pictures like this. Least chipmunks eat seeds, berries, nuts, fruits and insects. They don’t hibernate, but instead survive winters by entering turpor for long stretches of time, waking to eat food cached in the burrow.
Nikon D7100, 70-300 mm zoom lens
