Eastern Chipmunk

Species: Eastern Chipmunk (Tamias striatus)
Family: 
Date: 7.15.15


Observation:

This is one of the chipmunks I get to see everyday.  They are certainly not one of my favorite critters, but up close they are kind of cute.  Still a nuisance overall.

A Fact:

Chipmunks are most active during mid-morning and mid-afternoon.  They are very territorial and primarily stay within a range of 15 to 25 meters from their burrow.
