    There are 3 of these little guys that live near my garden this year. So far, they haven't done any damage, so I just let them be.

    This robin (at least I think it is the same one) stops by to bathe almost daily.

    It's so nice to see wild birds who feel welcome. Just look at him having a bath, it's too sweet for words!

    Yes

    That is a chipmunk right next to the sidewalk. They come up and perch on my front steps all the time.

    I have chip munks also JR, I think they are cute. They haven't done any damage in my yard either so we just watch and feed them. The robin pic is great. I have bird baths also and love to watch the birds using them. Thanks for sharing.

    Too sweet! I love the way chipmunks stick their tails straight into the air like signal flags, before they take off running.
