Last year around this time, we published a Take 5 on chipmunks, indicating they were just about to come out of hibernation. This year we’ve been seeing chipmunks since around late February. Regardless of when you see them, do enjoy five more chipmunk photos from our photo contest. Have a great shot of your own? Share it on our Facebook page or tag @MassAudubon on Instagram or Twitter).

You never know what spring weather will bring. Warm and sunny one day, snow storm the next. Somewhere in between, when moist air meets cold temperatures near the ground, you get foggy, misty conditions, which can make for dramatic photographs.
