Description

This adorable little guy made himself right at home as if the table was set just for him. Busy vacuuming the railing, he hardly looked up at me and the camera. Looking at the shots side by side, I couldn't resist putting them together as a montage.
Not only do I find them totally adorable and entertaining, Mr. Chips and his many relatives are welcome in my backyard. If you only see these remarkable little beings as the noisy skiddish rodents that eat the bulbs and ornamental flowers in your garden and should be eradicated, a little knowledge about their role in nature's overall scheme may change your mind. Their most important ecological role is the spreading of seeds. And as they forage on the ground for seeds and insects and other small edibles, they help spread the fungi within a forest, including the special fungi that live around tree roots and that are critical to tree survival. Pretty amazing!
