Chipmunks drop by once in awhile to munch on the food that the birds drop from the feeders. In the beginning they ran for their lives when I approached them, but as time went by they began to inch their way closer to me. Apparently, they’re quite docile and easily persuaded to accept nuts and seeds from a person’s hand. I’m working on it.
Aren't they so cute you want to squeeze their little cheeks ? haha .. I think the squirrels dominate our neighborhood so not too many chipmunks make it into our garden .. which is too bad because I don't think they are as bad at digging holes in my garden as those thugs from the squirrel gang are !
ReplyDeleteJoy, I love these little guys. I get the urge to pick one up and rub my nose against its furry face. I’m not sure the chipmunk would be too happy about that though… :)
ReplyDeleteI've seen some squirrels in the backyard, but not as many as I expected. So far they haven't given me trouble, not even with the bird feeders. I sure hope it stays that way! I’m not holding my breath though. Squirrels are such incorrigible critters…
