The Wild Center has a short nature walk, and a bird blind set up with feeders. The geekiest (from a birder’s point of view) birds we saw weren’t at the blind at all, but migrating warblers elsewhere on the path. What the blind was good for, though, was snapping a few photos.
The red squirrels controlled the best feeders, though occasionally a blue jay would fight for them.
The chickadees…
… and red-breasted nuthatches were left with the less favorable feeders.
While the chipmunks waited for the scraps on the ground beneath.

I wish we got chipmunks around here. All we get are squirrels!

The squirrels would hang on the bird feeders, grab all they could and everything they dropped went to the chipmunks. One chipmunk kept getting yelled at and chased off down the path we used to get to the blind.
