With many visitors to the park annually, some of Fundy's wildlife has become desensitized to humans.  This chipmunk entered the trail as we were approaching.  We stopped and watched as he calmly examined various items he found on the trail.  

  

We took a few photos, thinking he would skitter away when we came toward him.  As we waited, another pair of hikers approached from the opposite direction.  The chipmunk remained until someone waved a hand toward him, at which time he strolled just a few feet off trail.

As much as we read in the travel literature about moose and seals and other wildlife in the area and in Maine, this chipmunk is all we have personally viewed, except for the thousands of mosquitoes, black flies, and gnats, of course.  We don't even need to search for them; they find us.

At Hopewell Cape, we visited another natural phenomenon caused by the extreme tides of the Bay of Fundy.  Hopewell Rocks are rock formations caused by tidal erosion.  Because of the large volume of water that flows in and out of the bay each day, some parts of the adjacent sandstone cliffs have been separated from the rest of the cliff face.

  

The waves that come in with the advancing and receding tides have eroded the base of these formations at a faster rate than the top, resulting in the unusual formations.  Just by chance, our visit to these "flower pot rocks" (as they are called locally) occurred at low tide, so that we were able to walk down to them-- "walking on the ocean floor," as the tourist brochures promote.  (Since we didn't spend six hours at the site, we borrowed an image from www.new7wonders.com to demonstrate how the rocks look at high tide.)
