Chipmunk steals from bird feeder…

So I’ve got a little something I’m working on and I can’t do a full post tonight, but I thought I’d share with you something my wonderful boyfriend discovered today while he was looking out the window.

A few weeks ago, we got a bird feeder and set it up outside the bedroom window, where our cat Mr. Face likes to sit for hours and stare (basically at nothing.) We set it up to entertain our cat and didn’t think we were getting much business until this week, when the seed level started going down rapidly. Neither of us have seen any animals there at the feeder, so we thought it was birds. Then Shawn saw this little guy today:

We’ve known about our tiny little furry neighbor for quite some time, he has a network of tunnels right outside our bedroom window, and we had seen him dashing this way or that when taking Piper our for walks. Now we know he’s a huge fan of the birdseed.   Here’s another photo of him digging in to some tasty seeds:

He’s pretty daring to get all the way up there, wouldn’t you say?  Have you seen any funny or interesting animal stunts lately?
