Anyway, not a lot of wildlife activity around the garden, perhaps not surprising given the number of people. Although squirrels were not deterred and were as busy as ever stripping the Manitoba and amur maples of their seeds. Many of the Manitoba maples are devoid of seeds, and there are not many left still with seeds on them.

A couple of robins were at their usual spot in the ravine, getting some water from the increasingly tiny patch of open water yet remaining. I heard a goldfinch fly over the BYG, first one I've heard or seen at FWG in a while. A couple of white-winged crossbills and a small flock of bohemian waxwings also flew over, calling as they went. Otherwise, it was the usual suspects, such as this black-capped chickadee and downy woodpecker.
