Florida’s 23 eastern chipmunk records are unusually thin for a mammal this recognizable, and all of them come from iNaturalist, with 13 also appearing in GBIF. NatureServe ranks it S3, Vulnerable in the state, a step down from the secure status many small mammals carry here.
May and October hold the highest monthly counts, with 4 records each. That’s a small enough number that a single active observer could shape the pattern, so it says more about who was looking in those months than about the chipmunk’s real seasonal activity.
