More correctly called Eastern chipmunk, though because we get only one species around this region, we tend to forget the first part of the common name. Another tame animal, both this and another one running around the BYG were oblivious to the presence of people, too busy going about their business. Not really surprising after a long, long winter during which they hibernate. Or, not exactly hibernate in the way groundhogs do, more a state of torpor from which it will periodically awaken.
