In my recent posting about baby birds, I mentioned that the birds and chipmunks were not getting along! Initially I saw a bird chasing the chipmunk and I was not pleased! But then another day I saw the chipmunk chasing the birds and squirrels – it was then when I realized that little guy is not so innocent! Plus the birds are protecting their babies. We witness the bird flying over to the chipmunk by our shed.
Then the bird dive bomb the chipmunk to chase him away.
But it does not seem to matter. They fight a bit and then the chipmunk ignores the bird. I love how the mother bird stands guard over the chipmunk while he is eating.
In this photo we see two birds watching the chipmunk! It is amazing what you can witness in your own background if you are just still, be patient, and enjoy the show!
