The most abundant creature at the garden today was the grey squirrel. I think I saw about 10 of them. Everything else was either hiding or absent. I saw and heard a flock of about 15-20 red-winged blackbirds, 6 black-capped chickadees, several singing northern cardinals, a ring-billed gull flying over, ditto a canada goose and a common raven. A white-breasted nuthatch was in the old woods.
