Chipmunks don't hold still very long, or very often.



As I came around a bend near the island, there was a flurry just a few feet away-- and this redtailed hawk flew up from the grass, and across to the island, carrying a squirrel in his talons. He lost his grip on the squirrel; you can see it in the water beneath him.





Moving to a perch a bit further away from me.
