Getting Squirrely

The grey squirrel is back at the bird feeder again.  It must be the same one because he has the breakfast routine down pat and needs no coaxing to come.  He's already waiting when I put down the seed.  I got a kick out of him when it was raining.  He wasn't going to miss a meal and cleverly put his tail over his head like an umbrella.  The turkeys must have wished they could do the same.

Ground squirrels are out in full force and there are lots of youngsters.  Missy is doing her best and caught and ate another one.  Yesterday was warm and sunny all day, and all day young squirrels ran back and forth on the deck.  Ralph and Celeste are getting a lot of exercise going from the windows in the bedroom to the front room, trying to keep an eye on the pesky teenagers.  With ten acres to romp and play, I'll never understand why they need to come up to the house.  If it is just to irritate me, they're doing a good job.

The squirrels need to get familiar with the pots on your deck so that they can be ready to pounce and eat, the minute there is any greenery!
