Eastern Chipmunk (Tamias striatus)
We have eastern chipmunks (Tamias striatus) living in both the front and back yards. At least, we’ve seen them in both front and back. It’s possible they just cover more ground than I suspect. Anyway, we see them on our back patio, like this one coming to the bird bath for a drink, as well as on the driveway, among all Cathy’s containers plants. They don’t do a significant amount of damage to our plants, although I suspect I should dislike having them more than I do.
