Abstract
Chipmunks ( Tamias striatus) were observed at residential houselots near Amherst, Massachusetts. Activity was highest in spring and fall, and lower in mid-summer. This summer lull was absent where man-supplied food sources were available. Chipmunks were observed in wooded areas, as expected, but mown lawn and other open areas, such as driveways, were seldon used unless broken by trees and shrubs. Chipmunks were frequently observed at houses, in home roof and drainage systems and around man-made physical structures such as stone walls and debris piles. Man-supplied food sources were heavily utilized at several houses, greatly increasing the number of sightings. The horizontal visibility of commonly used perches was found to be relatively unobstructed but not completely open.
