Monday Portrait: Chipmunk

This chippie’s cheeks are as full as they can be. Perhaps he is stocking up for winter hibernation. Chipmunks take nuts and seeds back to their undeground lairs to have when they are hiberating in winter.

    Squirrels and chipmunks prepare a lot for winter. They are more vulnerable to predators when leaves are off the trees.

      The squirrels are around in the snow but the chipmunks go underground until spring. They have stashes of seeds and nuts underground too.

        Our squirrels stash a lot. They also raid the bird feeders a bit too much. I think they hide a lot in their tree holes so they don’t have to come out if they don’t need to. They also bury some of the acorns.

          Chipmunks are soooo fast too. They are so much faster than squirrels.

    We could probably learn from the chipmunks.
