Chipmunk Having a Snack
Living far away from any major city in the Northeast US is a prime opportunity to see chipmunks and squirrels scurrying around the yard for most of the day. Most of these little guys are pretty shy, however a handful of them will make their way near or into the garage and spend the night away from predators.
The eastern chipmunk is a chipmunk species found in eastern North America. It is the sole living member of the chipmunk subgenus "Tamias", sometimes recognised as a separate genus. Its name comes from the Odawa word "ajidamoonh" or the Ojibwe word "ajidamoo", which translates literally as "one who descends trees headlong."
