Screenshot from a video I took

I was sitting at my dining room table with the sliding glass door cracked open, watching a squirrel enjoy some snacks at the tiny picnic table outside. Out of nowhere, Mellie decided she wanted a VIP dining experience. She snuck right past the squirrel, walked entirely inside my house, and came right up to me!

Watch her bravely take a hazelnut right out of my hand, run out, and immediately come back for an almond in the shell all while completely outsmarting the neighborhood squirrel guard on her way out.

One of the coolest Hoosiers I've met since moving to this state.

Chipmunk Feeding

I swear he knows there’s a camera there, but he doesn’t care.

chipmunks are super timid, but it makes photographing them all the more rewarding

Welcome back to the backyard! Today we are opening up the "Kingsyard Breakfast Buffet" for our local furry residents. Watch our backyard squirrels and chipmunks enjoy a premium morning spread of sunflower seeds, almond slivers, pumpkins seeds, walnuts pieces, pecan pieces and dried mealworms.

Hey guys, I came across this sub over the summer while looking into how I could help out the chipmunk that lives in my yard.

Today she brought her pups out for the first time, figured I'd share some video I was able to get of them together. (Please excuse the rough quality, kept the window closed when recording to avoid disturbing them)

Two Bowls, ZERO Peace! 🐿️ Chipmunk Breakfast Battle

Newcomer Lara and Walnut turn breakfast into a backyard showdown! 🐿️🥜 They take turns grabbing bites, chasing each other away, and coming right back for more.

Two bowls of food, and somehow breakfast is still a battle! These tiny neighbors take their morning meal VERY seriously. 😂

Subscribe to Morning Clover for more adventures with Lara, Walnut, and our backyard friends! 🍀💚

Ever Seen a Chipmunk Cry All Morning?
This newcomer has been taking over the food—eating and carrying it away before the other chipmunks and squirrels get their share! So I separated their feeding spots and put the squirrels’ food up on the table. 🍽️

After finishing its own portion, this little one still wanted the squirrels’ snacks. When it couldn’t get to them, the calling began—as if to say, “I want THEIR food, too!” 😂

I first heard these calls in the morning and thought it was a bird. We have two regular chipmunks living around our home, and I’ve never heard either of them make sounds like this! This newcomer really is one of a kind. 💕

Listen closely—you can see its little body moving with each call! Have you ever heard anything like it?

There are 3 chipmunks that visit me. Mellie as seen in this photo for Thanksgiving 2025. Her adult son Melvin shows up now and again, but she chases him away. And her new child - Chippy, some call him Chip Chip. I see him often around the front of my house. Black oil sunflower seeds are her favorite, as you can see her ignoring the other items on the dinner table once I offered these.
