Thanks for the tip! My daughter has spent a lot of time taming the chipmunks. After several years it has become easier, because the mama chipmunks teach the new babies that she is a safe person and they bring them right up to her for snacks. The squirrels think the chipmunks are crazy and watch from a safe distance. We have had high water for the past several years. I wonder if it will ever go back to normal!
