“The future’s in the air
I can feel it everywhere
Blowing like the wind of change…”
— Song by the Scorpions
Director’s Corner

The Winds of Change
In any given year, the fall season gets me thinking about change — change in the seasons,
in the environment, what birds we see, and in our schedules. This fall, as the world swirls
around us like a divisive tornado of unrest, change seems to mean so much more than it
ever has before, at least in my lifetime. It is essential, critical, imminent — it is coming.
I feel we are standing on the brink of a revolution. Someday, historians will look back,
Volume 48 Number 4 tapping their fingers on the pages of some tome of our century, describing 2020 and
ISSN 1097-1548 2021 as those pivotal years in human evolution where we finally began to truly care —
for each other and for our planet.

Chipmunk Hoarders
Ryan Hodnett

Education Manager
Climbing trees Eastern chipmunks, Tamias striatus, are commonly found in Ohio and are
members of the squirrel family. Out of the 25 species of chipmunks, 24 are
found in North America and one species is found in Asia. Eastern chipmunks
have reddish-brown fur with five black stripes and two white or tan stripes on
their back with a bristly tail. They have a dark stripe of fur through their eyes
and a white stripe above and under their eyes. Their striped patterns help
James St. John
camouflage them into the forest floor by breaking up their shape to confuse
predators. Eastern chipmunk habitats include forests and forest edges. They
have also adapted to living in suburban neighborhoods.
Easter chipmunk
Eastern chipmunks are omnivores with a diet that includes nuts, seeds, berries,
fruit, buds, insects, earthworms, slugs and bird eggs. They are rodents and have
incisors that continuously grow. Their teeth are specialized for gnawing with
the front of their incisors covered in hard enamel. As the back part of their
teeth wear away, the edge of their teeth are sharpened like the blade of a
chisel.
One of the things chipmunks are famous for is the size of their cheeks. They
have cheek pouches that, when full, are almost the size of their head! Eastern
Ryan Hodnett
chipmunks are extreme hoarders and obsess about finding food. As they find
food they stuff it in their cheek pouches, then carry their food to their burrows
for storage. They overwinter sleeping in their burrows, but they are not true
hibernators. Instead, there are times they are active in the winter, sustaining
themselves on the food they stored and hoarded in their burrows.
Eastern chipmunks are intolerant of others and will aggressively chase other
Gilles Gonthier
chipmunks away. They mark their territories with urine, feces or their scent
glands. Though they aren’t very social with each other they will use alarm calls
to alert others of predators. Their predators include hawks, coyotes, fox, snakes,
Eastern chipmunk with nut
cats and dogs. When Eastern chipmunks feel threatened they make sounds
including chips, chucks and trills.
During mating season they will tolerate each other, but return to their loner
status when mating season is over. Their gestation period is about 30 days with
females having 2-8 in their litter. The young stay with their moms for a couple

months until their mother kicks them out their burrows to find or make a
