Eastern Chipmunk

The eastern chipmunk is the only chipmunk found in Maryland. Eastern chipmunks have mostly reddish-brown fur with a single black stripe running down the center of their back. Two black stripes and one white stripe runs down each side of their body, from the neck almost to their tail. The eastern chipmunk also has a white underside and a white stripe above and below its eyes. Chipmunks range in size from 8 to 10 inches long (including the tail) and weigh between 2 to 5 ounces. Males and females look identical.
