Title: Chipmunk -- "Notch" [September 4, 2008]
Distinguishing Features: She has a large tear out of her right ear and her back is slightly grey toned.
Notes: Notch is named for the tear in her ear, it makes her easy to pick out. Easier still is the fact that she'll hang around even when I'm around the birdfeeder and pond. She's just about fearless. (As you can see since I was less than half a foot away from her to get some of these pictures!!)
Shes brave enough that its even been worthwhile sitting out by the pond and feeder with my sketchbook to practice some life drawing. Its really fun watching all the different reactions the animals have to me just sitting there quietly. You can really start to tell them apart just by how they respond! At least with the some of the chipmunks and squirrels anyway, the birds still tend to flit around too much and are harder to distinguish most of the time.
