Backyard and Beyond

Starting out from Brooklyn, an amateur naturalist explores our world.

As John Burroughs said, “The place to observe nature is where you are.”

I rarely see Chipmunks in Green-Wood, which may not be woody enough for them. But Prospect Park, where I saw this one on a warm day earlier this month, has a regular population.

    Under the porch on the back of my house in suburbia is a thriving chipmunk population. It helps that the squirrels splash seed out of the bird feeder for them.

    I saw a chipmunk at my birdfeeder this morning. It’s been unseasonably warm here, but it still seems too early for them to emerge.
