Huh. When I was a kid, we used to spend a lot of time up at a relative's cottage in "northern" Ontario (on Lake Nipissing, same lake as North Bay). There were lots of chipmunks, but they were not shy.

We would come out the front door of the cottage, sit on the edge of the concrete steps with peanuts in our hands, and the chipmunks would come perch in your lap or on your arm and eat them (the peanuts, not your flesh) without a care in the world.

Different behaviours - different species? Just environment? Weird.

Another quick picture from my garden visitor yesterday.. this little beauty was hiding in a plant pot from a squirrel and here they're peeking out to see if the coast is clear!

#Chipmunk! We rarely see chipmunks at the house (they prefer to hang out closer to the canyon edge, alas) so it's always fun to see one. This one made a vertical leap of about four feet up to the fence, then another 2.5-3 feet to the peanut feeder, successfully extracting a peanut. Now it's hanging out at the platform feeder eating birdseed. I hope it stays a while.
