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.”

Mammal Monday

Two Eastern Chipmunks/Tamias striatus in Prospect Park yesterday.

Although only a few blocks separate Prospect and Green-Wood Cemetery, there are rarely any Chipmunk sightings in the latter. Not enough woods, if you ask me.

  1. Your photos show very nice details in the chipmunks. Thanks for your post!

  2. We saw and heard lots of chipmunks at Westmoreland Preserve. I feel like they were not as much in evidence last year, so happy to see them again.
