When the chipmunk eats baby birds, the berries and the seeds that the birds love, personally, I consider it a foe!   However, I love to watch it’s high energy pace and hear it’s cheerful “chip, chip” call.  And since the chipmunk can be found in each of the continental 48 states, I do not want to offend its solid fan base, or my own solid fan base!

Therefore, a quick natural tip to balance the wild life we all love.   Weighing in at just 3 to 5 ounces, the bite-sized chipmunk makes a tasty snack for hawks, owls, snakes, foxes and weasels.  Keep chipmunk numbers in check by providing owl houses, perches for raptors, and nesting sites for snakes.  Check local regulations before taking more drastic measures, like trapping, as the chipmunk is protected in some states.
