Chip-Chip must have sensed the approaching storm. I haven't seen him for two days now. But I think he's around. The food I've been dropping has been disappearing--although that's not proof that Chip-Chip has been taking it since the grey squirrels will badger and buffalo chipmunks into giving up their food quite easily.
Even the little dark-eyed juncos will square off against a chipmunk. When it comes right down to it, chipmunks aren't known for their toughness. Just about all the other little critters--with fur or feathers--have the built-in capacity to bully chipmunks.
To give Chip-Chip a fighting chance, I leave food inside the garage, where he has only the mice as competition. That's pretty much a stalemate.
