(13,366 posts)There's the much smaller actual chipmunks here too, i usually get a few different species of varmint and bird ...mostly stellar's jays.
Right now the baby jays are just fledgeling, so they are like half diown and still begging for others to feed them. It's hilarious. I dont even know how some of them fly when they are hallf fuzz! lol
