Cool pics.  I went to Mississauga Gardens today and also spotted Chipmunks.  I love these little guys, one of my favourite animals.  I just adore them.

Peekaboo!

What cuties they are. Mine hasn't popped up yet. Must be too content with his 10 tons of peanuts he stashed away under my garden last year. No need to come out just yet.

I am curious...where is "mississauga gardens"

It is just 4 streets west of Mavis on Burnhamthorpe.  It is also known as the Riverwood Conservancy.  There was this ebird report citing all sorts of amazing birds but I did not see anything out of the ordinary other than the Chipmunks.  I'm sure the park has potential though.  A better birder would surely have spotted more than I did.  I really do need to get a pair of binoculars.
