Last week, for at least 10 minutes at Evergreen Nursing Home, I =

a chipmunk making holes rapidly and feeding on something in a small =

lawn. When it left, I found many funnel-shaped holes about 2 cm deep =
and 3=20
cm across. Some of these had a circular hole in the bottom about 0.5 =

diameter.
I gather it was feeding on some insect that was being detected by =

or scent because just about every digging was followed by a snack =

Subsequently I noticed many similar holes in nearby flower beds. It =
