Description
Yale Myers Forest Eastern Chipmunk: This photograph of an Eastern Chipmunk (Tamias striatus) was taken at Yale Myers Forest in Eastford Connecticut in June 2015. If you have heard a high-pitched, regular, "chip chip chip" call in the woods, it is likely you are hearing an alarmed chipmunk. The chipping can go on for a long time. This chip is so high-pitched it sounds like a birdcall, but it can be as regular as a metronome. Chipmunks make a lower-pitched "chuck" call and also a chip/whistle called a trill. All three calls are alarm signals. It is believed that the "chip" is made in response to danger on the ground while the "chuck" is in response to danger in the air, such as a raptor.
