on a recent November morning. I found him
(may be a "her") sitting on a woodpile in the
garage engaged in a chattering call, most
likely because of a snake that had ventured
into the area.
Chipmunks (this one is an Eastern Chipmunk)
use two types of calls, a trilling
chip-chip-chip, repeated very rapidly (about
130 trills per minute) and a lower pitched,
slower chuck...chuck...chuck.
While the chipmunk was freaking out, a
squirrel was munching on my flowers.
