Where did you take the chipmunk picture? I've never seen any in the city....
Great pictures, as always, DF!

The above chimpmunk photo is from somewhere off the Web. The other ones, taken at the NYBG (with me exercising extreme patience and barely breathing in a secluded area of its primeval forest) demonstrate the chimpmunks have not yet matsered the skill of amphibious landings, as squirrels do. I have seen 'munks at the nearby Bronz Zoo, also. The Bronx is connected to the mainland; Manhattan and Brooklyn are islands. I can only assume squirrels have mastered amphibious invasions. or something.  I worry about them in this weather. But they have been around for tens of millions of years, so I guess they've survived worse than this. |
