For several weeks now, this little squirrel has been seen running across the cables on the poles out back and coming into the yard to feed from the bird feeders. It also may be responsible for some damage we see in the garden. This may be the same squirrel we caught in April. As you can see, it’s in the cage of our Havahart trap which had been set for several days prior. It got trapped when Verna threw a piece of her banana in the trap and the little beggar couldn’t resist.
We took it to a park about a mile away and let it go there. I thought that would work, but the very next morning, this squirrel was back chirping and taunting the dog (and Verna). I guess it likes it here.
We plan to get it again and repatriate it to a golf course near my place of business, which should be far enough that it can’t find it’s way back anytime soon. Squirrels – rats with good press agents.
