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.
Starting out from Brooklyn, an amateur naturalist explores our world.
As John Burroughs said, “The place to observe nature is where you are.”

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.
