Chipmunk

This little guy was startled from the ground by my wife as she strolled toward the area I was using as a wildlife stakeout. Luckily for me, he jumped up on a rustic log fence, where he perched in front of a perfect green backdrop, enabling me to grab this photo.

Gorgeous photo, the background sets him off beautifully but I'd probably trim away the tiny bits of fence showing at the top and right. You must have a great wildlife area nearby. Terrific capture.
