According to Wayne Petersen, a program director at the Massachusetts Audubon Society, the eastern black Chipmunk is "extremely rare".

"Petersen said for most people, seeing an all-black chipmunk is a "once in a lifetime experience"." - OttawaCitizen.

Here is the story on the black chipmunk that I observed and photographed. It was published in the OttawaCitizen today.

Are they as delicious as everyone says?

Sorry, this place is probably too nice for such jokes.
