I never realized chipmunks could move so fast. This year the chipmunk population exploded in our yard. Of course we feed the birds and the chipmunks are a great maintenance crew. Anything the birds drop the chipmunks clean up before the birds can get there to finish the job. We even tried to live trap and move some of them to another location but we certainly got the surprise of a life time on that one. We had an old fellow with a very short tail that ended up in the trap and took him about 2 km away and dropped him off where he would have a great supply of food and water. About 3 hours later - he was back!!! We then realized that every chipmunk we had transported to another location came back home again. That is when we decided to let them stay. Even the cat has decided they aren't worth chasing any more and they run right over her paws while she is trying to sleep.
