ready the seeds were on certain plants. He probably wouldn't have noticed that Striped Chipmunk was visiting all the hazelnut bushes and all the nearby nut trees. Striped Chipmunk was finding out for him- self just what plants had the most of his favorite seeds. what trees and hazelnut bushes would have the most nuts on them. Striped Chipmunk was ahead and making plans. He was finding out for himself where the most food would easiest be gathered when the time come. He knew that Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel.
