Typically I'll see them once or twice/year. All of a sudden, I'm seeing them all over my place. I attribute this to some construction nearby. As a by-product, I've not seen one chipmunk, red squirrel or mouse in over four weeks.

I'm not sure mink and no squirrels are related issues. We've seen mink running over our docks/rocks carrying fish.

that's a mink. Eagles have been doing a job on the rodent population on Mark, and I recently saw a video of a heron eating a chipmunk, so they could be coming into play as well!
