The War Rages On!

 I've been setting the traps lately in an effort to catch chipmunks.  The little buggers are doing a number on our strawberries.  Seems just as soon as a berry ripens, a flip'n chipmunk grabs it.  Often times I'll find half eaten ones in the yard too.  C'mon, if you're going to steal berries at least eat and enjoy them...

Here's a beautiful Red Squirrel that had a hanker'n for peanut butter.  As soon as I open the door, this dude shot out like a cannon ball -

And up the tree she went making all kinds of racket.  She wasn't content to get away and up the tree, she jumped from tree to tree and off into the wooded area she went - 

 Alas, and here's a grey squirrel.  The sparrow or pigeon of the breed.  This dude made it's way into the chicken pen to eat the chick starter feed.  I don't recall ever, in all the years here and having chickens, a squirrel fussing with chicken food inside their coop.  Well, we can have that, noppers -


On a positive note, I've caught 7 chipmunks to date.  They just keep coming and coming...
