Obviously you didn't spot the bird that flew off with him Bob. They were going for lunch.......
Well I didn't set him down in the middle of a field! It was next to my garage at the base of a tree. I could barely see him myself. NO BIRDS AROUND!
He's fine and probably started a new stick family by now.
Why do you catch chipmunks?
They are so cute and small

She wanted to keep it, but I told her we need to let it go back to its family. When we let it go, it flew over towards a few trees, then a robin swooped in and ate it, all while my daughter and I watched. She cried. Oh well, the circle of life.
