Re: birds and other critters

probably not the same species, although one would certainly recognize them as a chipmunk. i've never seen them in the lowlands out there. i misspoke when i said not in the burbs. i should have said not in the lowland burbs. they are [or were] quite common at tahoe and big bear--and those places are pretty burby.

No kidding, Jim...never saw one when I lived in SF.  Are they the
same species as in the east?  Wonder why not in the burbs?  Here they
are very adapted to urban and suburban life.  Sometimes think I
should just have a funnel and pour bags of birdseed down their holes;
save them a lot of effort:-)
