So sweet, a cool refreshing sip

They are so cute, we are just starting to see some around here. The feral cat population has shrunk.

I am jealous. I never have birds or wildlife in my stream.

Oh, the chipmunk. So cute, and yet SO ANNOYING! Ha!

I have to agree with you! I was so thrilled when I saw my first chipmunk drinking on my waterfall!
...then there was two, then more came and they were chasing each other around the pond, didn't seem to care if I was standing there (in fact they almost hit me), but I was still loving their presence!.....until they started digging their tunnels in between the rocks of the wall of the pond! They have done so much damage to the pond structure/liner, that we have to take the whole thing apart and start over!

I still love chipmunk, but they are so destructive!!!!!

I see them near the bird feeder, one, and one in the front driveway. So far just two. Before that a occasional one over the past 9 years.

Such cute little buggers! Love that photo! Our trees in our common area are now getting quite large and I saw a chipmunk one day and now see him or her every once in awhile.

Why don't you use place those little bird feeders near the pond. I have at least 10 little red Robin's that come back daily.

I will try that but my cat is very agile. I had to move the bird feeders to the trees to keep him from killing them. I would love to see them bathing in the stream but seeing them alive is more important. No more cats after this one is gone.

I caught my chipmunk tearing a hole in an above water section of the liner.

He and I need to have a talk.

Those little buggers chewed the liner under one of the spill stones in the stream a couple years ago. Took me 2 weeks to figure out where the slow leak was.
