June update

Well, the squirrel babies are grown, and Earie may be working on litter #2. Compared to the youngsters, she looks faded and tired. I'll miss her when she's gone; squirrels don't live overly long and we've known her for quite a while now.

I caught two moles under our bird feeder and transported them to an overgrown area by a school But, there's still at least one more under there. That area of the yard is pretty popular with all kinds of critters. Birds of all shapes, sizes and colors, obviously, and squirrels, moles, and rabbits who like the fresh shoots sprouting from spilled seed. Someone visits our deck overnight and is pushing around the brick-like dish we feed Earie from. Twice I found it on the ground; this morning I found it broken on the sidewalk. It'll still work to hold some seed, but we were miffed nonetheless. One of the youngsters knows to get food from it as well, and likes to work his teeth on it.

So, that's the update on the critters on our lot!
