I read an article the other day that has me a bit worried.
.

.
Long time readers will know we have had intense battles over the years with a certain female squirrel we call the Red B*tch.

But after reading this…

We may have to rethink our strategy.

Dang. I hope we’ve scored enough points with the ones around here to be safe.

You’re probably safe unless the squirrel brings friends or they start to grow larger. I understand red squirrels live 3-5 years, so you should outlive your nemesis. On the other hand, you have the makings for a horror movie.

Wouldn’t you rather have Squirrels then Rats or Mice? That seems like a positive attribute.

Wasn’t there a 50’s sci-fi movie with that squirrel theme? I think it starred Steve McQueen.

LOL, California squirrels have been eating voles, too. Is this the UC Davis study?

You should be okay, Rg. You provide a wide variety of foods daily. As long as evetyone is fat and happy there is no need to start eating the other residents of your feeding area.

I had a friend a few years back who wrote horror stories about squirrels. I’ll see if I can find a copy of his book for you! Poor guy died of MS.

I’m sorry for the loss of your friend. But no, I don’t want to read that.

I’d be catching up reading on the grass in a bit of sun when a pack of squirrels came charging at me. I was at eye level with them and it was a frightful view.
