Within five seconds I saw a chipmunk climb a tree and a hummingbird. Usually you see chipmunks scurry on the ground. I know they can climb trees but it was an unusual place to see it. The animal was attracted by the scattered birdseed on the ground–some of it dropped by the feeding birds. I have only seen a chipmunk climb a tree several times and I am always surprised when I see one do that. I do not see chipmunks too often in this area but I know they are around. I always love watching its antics.
