Naturalist has noted eastern chipmunk s winter appearance for 50 years
By JIM GILBERT, Special to the Star Tribune March 4, 2021 6:07pm Text size Copy shortlink:
For 50 years I have recorded in my nature notes when the first active eastern chipmunk appeared above ground in Carver County.
Observations of that happening have come from our Waconia yard, Victoria, Lowry Nature Center in Carver Park, and the University of Minnesota s Landscape Arboretum. All in the same county.
Many friends have helped with the long list of dates, so the results are a real team effort. The big day for the first eastern chipmunk seen above ground is usually close to the last week in February or first week in March, the beginning of their mating season.

This weekend went SUPER fast for me. Did it for you? But like I ve said before, the weeks themselves don t suck so it s not such a bad thing. If you live only for the weekend, you need to find something that brings you joy during the week! LIKE OUR SHOW, FOR INSTANCE! LOL!
Here we go!
Last week, I made my wife a wine and cheese pairing experience and this week she paid me back. It wasn t all cheese though. She paired wines with veggies and hummus, queso, crackers, nuts and even sardines! It was amazing! I will say, if you do something like this, prepare to get overly full really fast. Not sure why but wine and food pairings load you up quickly!
