A "scurry" of chipmunks, a "warren" of rabbits - interesting terminology. A "murder" of crows. And,
Great Photos!
I love the stories and information you include. How they fight. How the bite marks are visible in your photo. How important it is to keep one's tail intact.
How they pose for you! You could make wildlife photography your full-time career, if you wanted. A young zoology major who videotaped squirrels unexpectedly went viral after she recorded the sounds of a squirrel eating: yum, yum yum.
But you have so MANY talents, Jo - you could be writing children's books about these chipmunks and squirrels and all their in-fighting, and how the little guy with the half-tail overcomes his disadvantage.... Richard Adams was a keen observor of wildlife, as fans of Watership Down all know. :)

It means a lot you like my stories, Carol. .Your inspiration makes me want to put something together for children.
Hubby doesn’t call me queen of the squirrels but the squirrel whisperer. :)
I could have used a outside camera last night when I saw a skunk checking the back lawn to see if the birds left any of the food. I had befriended one skunk a couple years ago but he vanished and I think he was killed on the road.
Thanks Carol for always being so supportive and a wonderful friend.❤️
You are most welcome ❤️ and thank YOU for the beautiful stories and images!
You befriended a skunk - I love it!! Skunks and possums are among my favorite creatures.
I really hope your skunk friend didn't meet that terrible fate on the road. And I hope you will collect some of your anecdotes and stories to put in children's books. With self-publishing, anyone can do it, photos included. (Says the woman who's thought about this for more than ten years without acting on it!)
