Chipmunk in Mid Air
Uploaded: June 12, 2017 19:22:19 | Entered: June 12, 2017 19:23:57
I spent an hour with this little guy who had either a nest or a storage container buried in the ground just a few feet from where I was kneeling low to the ground. The chipmunk initially came with a huge well compacted bunch of leaves in his mouth, ran as fast as he could leaping across the grass, buried his head first into his hole, then came out and ran away. About five minutes later he came back again and again, no longer with leaves showing, but his cheeks full and bulging. Although he was an easy target, I only got a few photographs of him in midair and in focus. Most fun hour I've had in a few weeks.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
