Seems you just can’s get rid of squirrels. They are everywhere. I have tried relocating some, but there are always more to come and fill in the space. They are cunning little creatures and will do about anything for food.
Sudden food shortage
Fat squirrels fight for survival
Race to get it first
Here the strong survive
Rapidly hogging their fill
Eating upside down
Covid-19 looms
Weighs heavily on our minds
We’re just like the squirrels

Beautiful photography and observation.
I’m trying my best to remember that many of us have exceedingly more than we need.

Precisely. Someone told me that a grocery manager told them that if everyone would just stop shopping for one week, the supplies would be as close to normal as possible—given the current situation.
Not sure how true that is, but it’s a very interesting supposition.

Get a dog. You will have no squirrels. I wouldn’t mind a squirrel or two but Diego and Morrie will not allow it!!
