I saw chipmunk(s) around my pond today.
his is highly unusual to see chipmunks or squirrels here inour yard.

Sometimes unusual animals will show up when there is a short term or long term
drought going on, looking for water from your pond.
Or a series of mild winters has allowed a population expansion and they are
looking for new territory. We have a squirrel, much to the watergardening
labradors disgust, for the first time in the 14 years we've been in this house.
They are all over the neighborhood now.
