The Townsend's chipmunk is found in dense wooded areas of the Pacific Northwest. They are solitary and territorial, living in individual burrows up to 30 feet long. They eat a wide range of fungi, berries, and seeds, and will forage as far as half a mile from their burrows, carrying back food in their cheek pouches.

Chipmunk decoder ring:

• No stripes on the face: golden-mantled ground squirrel
• Dark stripes from nose to eye: yellow pine chipmunk
• Dark stripes don't extend to the nose: that's this one!
