How about a layer of green over brown to evoke above and below ground? Crรจme de menthe for the cautious, Chartreuse for the adventurous on top, blended with organic grass for thickening. Kahlua for the base, thickened with peanut butter. Marinated acorn as garnish (sans shell) along with a dried cricket or two. Served with a twig-shaped straw. Taste test, anyone?

Indeed ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Oh, and I forgot to mention that the "tribe" name Marmotini really, really ought to get a second life as a cocktail name. But I have no idea what would go in it.

They're Eastern chipmunks, so you all probably have a different species. Cool aloof cowboy chipmunks? Separatist chipmunks? ๐Ÿ˜‰ Doesn't explain the shy Eastern chippies in Ohio, though.

Huh. When I was a kid, we used to spend a lot of time up at a relative's cottage in "northern" Ontario (on Lake Nipissing, same lake as North Bay). There were lots of chipmunks, but they were not shy.

We would come out the front door of the cottage, sit on the edge of the concrete steps with peanuts in our hands, and the chipmunks would come perch in your lap or on your arm and eat them (the peanuts, not your flesh) without a care in the world.

Different behaviours - different species? Just environment? Weird.

We had them in Ohio, but they were shy, like yours. Not sure why. Saw a cool thing in another part of "our" forest (you pay taxes, but you don't ever own wilderness unless you choose to alter/destroy it). A well-rotted birch trunk on the ground, bark still mostly intact. A chippie ran along the trunk in the space between the bark and decayed wood. Like a covered bridge or tunnel, protecting him from predators. Smart little rodent!

Gosh, the little munchkin is soooooooo cute! Chippies are so shy in Edmonton. I hear we have them but only in certain places. Iโ€™ve never been blessed to spot one!
