Back in the US, with familiar furry faces!
It's interesting to me that both squirrels and chipmunks have prospered so well in urban environments in the US. Posted 6 years ago

  I agree, here in Europe I rarely see them, super shy! Posted 6 years ago

Cute! Our woods are full of them - chipmunks especially, and they are quite bold and comfortable around people. Posted 6 years ago

The Eastern chipmunk

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."
