Field Notes

Description:

This chipmunk lived in a hole in my front yard. I think it is another animal's tunnel that I found while planting a tree several years ago. He stuck his head out, was almost out and got spooked and returned to the hole.

thanks. They clean up the bird seeds that fall, so I prefer them over the squirrels which dump the birdseed.
