I wish I could have found these birds at one time and could have claimed they were a family. At least, to me, they are a great example of what a family may be.

L: Chip, you live in our backyard. What is life like back there.
C: First, let me correct you. You occupy our foraging territory with your oversized den. Our ancestors go back far in the history of this Chipmunk homestead.
But, it’s OK. We appreciate your regular tribute of peanuts for allowing you to live in our territory. Although there are days you miss; you need to be more punctual.
L: Tell us about foraging: what are your favorite foods, where and how do you store them.
C: Much of that information is classified – need to know only. We love the acorns in the fall. The peanuts are great. You need to throw out an assortment of seed without the hot pepper though. By the way, would you please leave a few pads of post-it notes and a pen?
L: How is your relationship with the birds and squirrels.
C: I can’t seem to keep them out of the territory. The birds aren’t much of a problem even though there are a lot of them squawking all the time. They eat their food and pretty much keep out of the way.
Those pesky squirrels though. They eat our peanuts and chase each other willy-nilly through our territory. They are real pests.
Oh, the hawks are scarry. Please keep them out.
L: Thanks Chip, it’s been a pleasure.
C: You’re welcome. Oh, we need to renegotiate the size of the tribute soon.

Raptors, i.e. birds of prey, are always interesting to me. They present grace, beauty and power even though they can be intimidated by the smallest of birds chasing the raptor away from their nests.
