For a long time, I’ve had just one chipmunk on the deck, but recently, there have been two. My guess is that if there are two, there are probably a lot more. I just would appreciate that they not all gather together on my deck. I remember when we had a lot of chipmunks and they would gather in a pack and chitter chatter at us as we got out of the car. Then the bobcats came and for a while, we had no chipmunks. Eaten by the bobcats.
These are two different chipmunks, Can you see the difference? The one with the dark strip up near his head is, I think, the male and the other is the female.

They are so cute! Another type of animal we don’t see here. I wonder if they are planning to raise their family on your deck since your girl now has a boyfriend.

The word is getting round! They really are irresistibly cute, and their markings are exquisite.

I’m just hoping we don’t wind up with a big tribe of them. They don’t do any harm, but they are very cheeky and tend to do a chipmunk version of yelling at you if you are on whatever they think is their territory. I think it is OUR back porch!

LOL! They obviously think it’s THEIR back porch… perhaps they should be feeding you then! 😀

She is really cute! Also, she is the one who has been hanging around the feeder for the past year or two. The boy just showed up recently.

Aw. So adorable. I loved loved chipmunks when I was little. Still do but we don’t have them.

I’m just hoping we don’t wind up with a lot of them. They don’t do any harm, but they do try to take over your property and yell at you for walking through “their” space to get inside your own doors.
