OK, not a comment on this particular post, but just read this article and it made me think of you - particularly the part about the hibernaculum. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/07/realestate/geraldine-brooks-on-marthas-vineyard.html?searchResultPosition=1

I think that our barn (I have a stunning photo of two 5’+ rat snakes, hanging from the eaves while mating) could qualify as an hibernaculum.

Chipmunks are definitely doing some gardening in my backyard too! They also love pulling out the tiny corn stalks that have just started to sprout!
