Willie is probably storing up as many seeds as he can get a hold of in his cheek pouches to fill his underground 'pantry' for winter snacks. Since chipmunks do not store fat they need a generous stash of food to see themselves through the winter months.

P.S. Great butterfly pictures!!

Thank you...

Jerry....believe me Willie has a stash of peanuts in the shell hidden. I feed the Blue Jays peanuts and Willie emptys the cup quite often.
