They are certainly much tinier than I imagined too. I had always thought of them as being the size of a large cat and I'm sure that in the cartoons my sons used to watch they were pictured in this way. When my sons were small there seemed to be many American cartoons on TV and i did wonder whether they would grow up with American accents!<BR/><BR/>Fr Zuhldorf has shown some beautiful pictures of the birds he sees in his garden, on his webblog and I too was astonished at their colours - only seen in pet shops and zoos here in britain! I knew budgies were wild in Australia but until I saw Fr Z's photos had no idea that similar wild life existed in America. What a difference to our sparrows and pigeons!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807826652341078989.post-20827311112634721902008-07-03T06:51:00.000+01:002008-07-03T06:51:00.000+01:00Hey, is this your very first time to North America...Hey, is this your very first time to North American?! I didn't realize you folks didn't have fire hydrants! But then I wasn't especially looking for them when I was there.<BR/><BR/>Just hope you don't run across that other North American native...the skunk. actually quite tame and placid...unless, of course, you frighten them. Brother! I can remember rolling up home in the driveway one night two summers ago, and opening the car door...and I was just about to step out of the car with my foot poised and something made me look down.... a black fur ball with a white stripe (yikes!) was ambling not 6 inches beneath my foot. ...so a carefully retracted said foot...and carefully pulled the door closer to me (but NOT shut so as not to startle the thing...and proceeded to wait a good five minutes before I ventured out. If you're good ask someone to take you snipe hunting at night. Not to be missed.<BR/><BR/>At any rate...here are <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWm0EYfKV4g&NR=1" REL="nofollow"> two more chipmunks</A>.gemoftheoceanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05521207668262592414noreply@blogger.com
