Chipmunks On Islands
My mom asked if I would pose this question to the knowledgeable people on the Forum:
How did the chipmunks get onto the islands? They hibernate during the winter months, so coming over on the ice doesn't make sense. Any ideas? Thanks! RG |

Chipmunks end their hibernation in March, ice out is usually mid April.

By boat of course
How do you get to the island ? Well same thing for chippies and squirrels ! Outrageous you say, here I have proof
First the skiing squirrel. And then it's natural to ask, who's driving the boat. Well it's a bit blurry but I believe it's a chipmunk. That's my story and I'm sticking to it ! Of course that's how it's done today. Back in the 60's it was quite a race btw the chippies and squirrels. What, again you doubt Well read the history ... http://www.cfsd.k12.az.us/~ogwww/All...x/Garrett.html

What a foolish question! Everybody knows Chipmunks get their boating certificate and drive gas-guzzling off-shore racers.

a great upheaval
RG,
It is obvious that the chippies were there before “a great upheaval”.

thanks Bear Islander...ya know, ya learn something every day. I thought that maybe they ran out to the islands 'cause they know where the rocks are . Then again, the water isn't very deep...it's not even up to the chest on seagulls!
