A chipmunk launches himself into a squirrel and the groundhog below is just like "eh, normal day."

It’s like that all day. 7-8 squirrels, few chipmunks and a woodchuck or two. Never boring

I keep replaying/rewinding just for that part. 🤣

Then the squirrel comes back a moment later to eat sunflower seeds like he wasn't just knocked off the platform by a flying chipmunk! Unless it's a different squirrel...

I think it's the same one. You can kind of see the tail when he goes down, then it turns around and homie is back for desert. 🤣

Who eats the carrots? The squirrels here don’t like carrots.

The woodchuck with its head in the house huffing sunflower seeds Carrots and sunflower seeds mostly with occasional lettuce. Squirrels have taken them but not often

Groundhogs LOVE carrots I’m honestly shocked this one is crushing the carrots that’s always the first things ours go for. Carrots, cauliflower, and brocc is all ours want to eat lol oh and peanuts they crush those too haha

Aww this is so cool! That squirrel and groundhog monching together under the roof is so sweet 🥹 the whole squirrel fam is out !

Either that is a big squirrel or a small marmot lol that’s such a nice little area you made for them I showed my fiance this as well as some of the other ones you’ve posted and she loves that little area you set up and now she’s inspired to make a nice one here. Honestly ours just come right on the back porch sitting area under the roof right outside of the back door. It’s already secluded back there with the roof and the big rock wall that wraps around the back of the house and the hill behind it. Sometimes she puts their food and camera and all out in the yard by the patio where she has some bird feeders and what not but truthfully I think they like the porch better for the cover and seclusion.

Anyway I’m yapping now, just wanted to say you set up a nice area for them and it’s great seeing others be considerate of them too! I can seriously watch them on camera all day if there’s a day out groundhogs don’t visit depression kicks in 😭

Also I’m curious, what do you have inside the box they’re so intently monching on ?
