Anyone looking for a great place to photograph chipmonks

A great place to photograph chipmonks is the last rest area on rt. 89 in Vermont going towards New Hampshire. It is only about 1mi. to the New Hampshire line. They have a natural habit built right at the service area. There is no fences and you can walk right up to their dens. They are quite tame. Unfortunately, I didn't bring a camera when I was there. I may go back this year. The chipmonks in Vermont are much more pretty than the ones in Pa. In Pa. the have black brown and white in their coats. In Vermont they have black brown and white and gold in their coats. You may want to bring some treats to intice them. For the best pics dont stand up and shoot down on them. Lay down on your belly and shoot at their level. Happy hunting.

They might be more attractive in Vermont or New Hampshire But they are more abundant and agressive in my Pennsylvania backyard they have their little holes all over the place and especially along the stone walls And they are always going into my screened in porch and garage to get out of the rain and they love to eat my plants. They are also very noisy too with their high shreiking chippy noisy! They hop and run around like crazy and they jump so high I can't believe it plus they can climb trees quite well! I think I will try to get a picture of them this summer they are hibernating now! I think there's a population explosion here. Sarah

I think the Pa. Chipmunks are as handsome as any of their more Northern Buddies...LOL
