Chipmunks, bird feeder and a tree

We have two bird feeders along with squirrels, and chipmunks in our backyard. Recently I planted a young tree in the place where one of the bird feeders had been. I cleaned most of the feed that had fallen to the ground and planted the tree in that spot. Nevertheless, the chipmunks come to the newly planted tree and throw out the dirt looking for fallen bird seed—or at least that is what I suppose they are thinking and doing. I guess the chipmunks are giving me a lesson in habits. Habits are hard to break even if they no longer serve their original purpose. I hope the chipmunks will eventually learn that there is not much seed around the new tree and the bird feeder has been moved about ten feet away and seeds are falling underneath. At least I assume chipmunks are that smart, but I must realize that many humans are not that smart either because we keep doing the same old behaviors and having the same old attitudes we had in the past—even when they no longer serve us well.
