Excellent in seeing the difference with a regular Chipmunk. Something I learned on Noah!

You're welcome! That's one of the great things about Project Noah, there's so much to learn :)

Thank you - we did not know that :)

Hello knabagley, nice spotting! This is actually a squirrel. Chipmunks have stripes on the face as well as the body.
