So, once we got to the almost 8,000 foot peak, we enjoyed the views of the surrounding area and as we began to head back to the car, I caught sight of a chipmunk. I'm not sure, but I think it is a Least Chipmunk. It's really interesting to see them at that altitude.
Later, when we decided to stop by the Big Obsidian Flow, I was wandering around and found a couple of Mountain Chickadees working over a fir tree. I snapped several images of them and came out with one I really like.
I came across a number of other critters on that trip, including four new odonata...two of which I am having difficulty identifying. And then there were the critters I saw and couldn't image....but that's another story.Misty Dawn's Camera Critter Meme is a great way to see critters of all types.

Wonderful photos. We don't see too many chipmunks around our house (or in Florida unless they were the BIG kind at Disney - Chip & Dale!) Chickadees, wrens and sparrows, I need to study up so I can identify them!

How wonderful! We don't see chipmunks down here so this was a real treat as was the Mountian Chickadee.
Nifty shots! The first reminds me of an experience I had in the Black Hills feeding slightly fermented blueberries to chipmunks when I was young and foolish ... decades ago!
Hugs and blessings,
Beautiful shots....
My entry this week : in HERE. I hope you have time to visit. Thanks
Cute little critters!
fantastic shot of chipmunks and little squirrel. happy weekend.
Lovely shots, especially the chipmunk.
As you know, I think both of these shots are fantastic!
After thinking about it, I've realized I don't see many chipmunks here in Missouri. I see more squirrels. Used to see LOTS of chipmunks in Ohio.
Just how cute is that chipmunk. Closest I get to one of those in the wildlife park. Just not the same.
What beauties!
What a fabulous post dear friend!Thanks so much!

I love watching chickadees. Its amazing how they can hang upside down.
Beautiful critters. We have lots of chipmunks here. Chickadee is a beauty as well.

That sounds like an interesting place to visit. I really like that little chipmunk.
wondrous shots - envirinment and all
Wonderful shots Ashrunner, I love the chipmunk so cute:)
You did get some good shots there. I have never seen a chipmunk or chikadee so now when I hear the name I can put a face to it.
Cute little Chipmunk and that bird is lovely.
Those are very cute little critters.
