Tamias townsendii

Townsend's chipmunks have reddish-brown fur with two grayish, brownish, or whitish stripes on each side of the back, a dark stripe down the middle of the back, and a whitish stripe above and below each eye. They also have a long, bushy tail, a reddish-brown or yellowish-brown underside, and a brown stripe below each ear. They generally reach a total length of around 11.8 inches (30 cm).
 

The range of this species extends along the Pacific coast of North America, from extreme southwestern British Columbia south to southern Oregon (Rogue River).
 

Townsend's chipmunks live in dense coniferous forests, coniferous tree islands, and dense, brushy thickets, including clearcut areas, especially several years after harvest. These chipmunks generally occur under or among brush, slash, and other protective cover.
 

They are active during the day, generally from March to late November. They are active for shorter periods at higher elevations, especially in areas covered by deep snow, and may be active all winter in warmer areas, especially along the coast. They mate in spring. The young are usually born in May or June, and appear above ground by July (in the Washington Cascade Mountains).
