Exactly! We apparently have the tastiest yard in the neighborhood, too. (Our lawn is a little bit of grass and a lot of clover and violets and other native wildflowers and ground cover.)
They ARE! We have a family of them living under one of the bushes in our garden, and it's the time of year when the truly wee little ones are starting to venture out and about: sometimes we'll have half a dozen of them scattered across the lawn. SO CUTE.
One of the motivators for my daily walks has been bun-spotting. Recently the chipmunks who live under our house have decided we’re cool enough to be out where we can see em. My 6yo dubbed the bold one “Dale” lol
Awwww, I adore chipmunks too: they're so tiny and cute! And we have a family of foxes who live on the golf course across the street that are the only small upside of having terrible environment-destroying rich people neighbors: the foxes come to visit me on the porch in the wee hours a lot.
What type of cottontail rabbit? We have the desert cottontails out here. They live around the dry creek bed behind the house, and love roaming through our native plants in the back. They even show up in our front yard!
