For the past few weeks I have been hearing noises behind the walls and in our ceilings. Then, a few days ago, I caught sight of the intruder. "Chip" seems to have been living behind the wall in my office and using a route
over my dad's office ceiling to get to our front room which currently serves as a greenhouse. One of the hazards of living in the forest is that "critters" love to move in with you. Late last year we had a family of raccoons move in under our deck and now it appears that some chipmunks have decided to follow suit. 
I was able to catch several great pictures of him before he dove back to his home, and it wasn't until the camera made a noise that he ran. Oh well, we'll see how long this guest decides to stay at the Mack Family Bed and Board.

Aww! I love arboreal rodents (this means squirrels, chipmunks, and the like). Those are some excellent pictures you took.

Thanks! They are a lot of fun to watch - I just don't enjoy their destructiveness. Two years ago a family of squirrels dug a series of tunnels in my neighbor's yard and through a window we were able to watch them raise their young. It was so much fun to see them popping in and out!
