Here is a group of photos showing a chipmunk having bad luck, but got some help from me.
I saw this chipmunk looking around this old run-down birdhouse and went to grab a few photos. As I was setting my camera, I noticed he went into the birdhouse and got himself stuck.

I am sure he wasn’t too happy, but I was. The birdhouse made a great frame for a one-of-a-kind photo.

Some time later, I decided to give the chipmunk a hand by putting a small amount of soap on his neck so he could slide out. But no luck…

I couldn’t just leave him there, so I got some tools and was able to break him free. He then ran off… this was captured from my video camera.
