As you can see these two smart asses were pillaging and pilfering where they shouldn't have been. After all there was a perfectly attractive and set trap with tasty, salmonella contamination free peanut butter begging for a licking not too far away.
Well, guess who got the last laugh?! One of these dudes, I'm not sure which one and it doesn't really matter as it's only a matter of time before the other one is caught, fell to temptation and WHAM he's caught. Off he went with me to work and his new home.
This is the first grey squirrel catch of the young 2009 season and I can only imagine that there will be more (they seem to come out of the wood work), so stay tuned. Last years totals, just in case your keeping track at home, was 10 with most being relocated and a couple qualified for swim lessons. The red squirrels, if caught and we have caught several, are released here immediately - we like and prefer the red dudes and with the thinning of the grey squirrel herd (is there such a thing as a herd of squirrels? someone please get back to me on this) the reds have a much better chance at flourishing. Plus they're much more attractive and much less of a nuisance and pest.
Think Spring!
