Squirrel Awareness: Least Chipmunks

Least chipmunks, being small and quick, are difficult to photograph. They are North America's smallest squirrels.

Purpose of Blog

Squirrels are among the most overlooked of all creatures. My intent is to spread awareness of these humble creatures, and to educate the public.

I will post a blog whenever I think of a squirrel awareness tip, to talk about my pet squirrels, or when I go "squirrel hiking". The latter is hiking with the intent of watching squirrels.

The main reason why I like squirrels so much is because they are fascinating creatures. There were events in my life that triggered my interest. First, I had a general interest in rodents at age 12, but I narrowed it down to just the squirrel family in my late teens. The squirrel interest may have started with a tame female gray squirrel that a friend of mine and his mom allowed into their house. This squirrel lived outside, but would she come indoors for treats. After this I wanted to know all there is about squirrels. So I've read about the 270+ species of squirrels from all around the world, and I was hooked! I've also hand-fed and petted wild squirrels on college campuses (not recommended; don't just pet ANY wild squirrel.)
