It was fascinating to watch this chipmunk work at collecting and storing the corn that I put out for the deer. At first it would eat until full, then fill its cheek pouches and scamper back to its borough only to return in a couple minutes for two more cheeks full of corn, then repeat the collecting/storing trip several times over the next hour. It must have thought it had found the mother lode when it came across several pounds of corn scattered near its home. Makes me wonder how much corn it has stored for the winter.
