Took the boys outside this morning and there was a flurry of activity as the chipmunk raced from one of the bird feeders into some shrubbery. The hunt was on and the boy's noses were working overtime. After a few more scrambles around the roses and through the tomatoes and cucumbers, the chipmunk shot through the lattice work of the pergola and raced to the front of the house - leaving 2 very attentive but disappointed puppies with their noses jammed through the lattice and their tails (whole bodies actually) wagging in excitement. Took a bit for them to calm down and do their business, but they finally did what they needed to do (while keeping at least one eye on the garden at all times). When I went around front to leave for work - voila, one chipmunk in the trap, looking very "okay, you got me...". Took him with me in the car almost all the way to work before pulling off and letting him go in the yard of an abandoned school-house with lots of shrubs and trees.
I've updated my tracking sheet, that makes 3 chipmunks so far this year.
