A Day in the Life of a Chipmunk
(from the perspective of a scientist)
Photos were taken with my Nikon D3100, with a 55-200mm lens. None of these photos were edited.
Chipmunks are omnivores and eat a variety of foods including berries,
(ISO: 560)
and nuts such as acorns.
(ISO: 3200)
Chipmunks don't need much water because of all the berries they eat, but when other water sources dry out water can be found on leaves after rain or heavy fog.
(ISO: 400)
Small burrows such as this one, well hidden by leaves and pine needles, make great homes for the chipmunks to hide in and to store food for the winter.

Chipmunks are very small and they see the world from the underside.
(ISO: 100)
As small as they are, they can't always hide from predators, like large birds, that may want to eat them.
