We have a chipmunk that has claimed our log cabin as his territory. Whenever I put out a new bird feeder, he has to go investigate it and then take a taste test. He's gotten pretty friendly and will come up to me on the deck to beg for food. (I have to remember to get Greg to snap a photo of me with my buddy.)
This guy has a series of tunnels / holes on our property. Did you know that a Chipmunk has different uses for each tunnel? One is used for his toilet, one is used for storing food, one for sleeping, etc. Here's one of his holes - this is the one he likes to pop out of when I walk by to chirp at me.
P.S. I'm getting ready for my craft show in Gaylord this Saturday. So if you're in the area, please stop by! The show runs from 8 - 4 in the downtown area. I will be selling items from my Nature Store.
Good luck with the craft show. Hope you make lots of sales and lots of friends.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see a picture of you and your little friend. Good luck with the craft show. Wish I was closer so I could come look!
ReplyDeleteTake Care,
Debbie
That's so funny shelley!!! Really I have not seen a chipmunk before. Where I live we don't have them. Have a great week!!
ReplyDeleteShelley,.. good luck, I hope you have a lot of sales. Chippy is no fool, he likes oranges for b'fast!
ReplyDeleteHe's cute! We have several "chickmunks"(this what our 4yo granddaughter calls them!)that enjoy the peanuts we put out for the squirrels!
ReplyDeleteGood luck at the craft show.

Chip is so cute. Where is Dale? Are you all ready for the craft sale?
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha ha! That is so funny about the chipmunk stealing your feeder, I laughed so hard!
ReplyDeleteAwwwwwww!!!!!! He's sooo cute!!! No, I didn't know those facts about chips!!! My friend had a pet squirrel for a little, but she let him go. He would ride in the hood of her hoodie. lol!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove, Joy =D
I didn't know that about chipmunks. He sure is a cute little fellow. Have a great time at the craft show.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea they lived in holes!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie he is-very entertaining.
Good luck at your sale-I'm sure your pleasing personality will be a seller. :D
This little cutie cracks me up. He looks like he's wearing those oranges as a necklace!
ReplyDeleteGood luck at the craft show.
BTW, I don't see your email address posted anywhere, so here's mine:
haubke_at_gmail.com. Drop me a line so we can figure out when to get together! We'll be up your way July 15-22. I so look forward to meeting you!
My father in law enjoys watching chipmunks play in his backyard. I will ask him if he knows about all the holes. I figure he does, as he watches quite a bit of nature shows. Animal Planet is one of his faves.
ReplyDeleteLove Chippy season. I've seen just a few by us. Best wishes and have a blast at the craft fair!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get a good turnout for the craft show. Unfortunately Gaylord is a little far for us to make. If you need a Dale to be companion to your Chip we have several we'll be glad to ship up to you.
ReplyDeleteOkay Shelley... If you'd like MORE of your buddies, I have a TON to give you. We'd love to get rid of them. They tunnel all over our flowerbeds and around our driveway. They truly are a nuisance--no matter how 'cute' they are. Want some?????
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Betsy
I didn't know that Chipmunks had different rooms in their burrows.
