Dennis Havel sent me this great photo of a chipmunk looking for a "cuppa" in his yard. I saw this and wondered if chipmunks hibernate. So I searched the web and came up with this answer on answers.com "While chipmunks in general are not true hibernators, they tend to remain in their underground chambers during the winter months. In its northern range the chipmunk goes underground about the end of October but sleeps deeply only during the coldest period." Very interesting! But I am glad they are waking up. I think this might mean that spring is finally here!!
