Squirrel Training

Selecting His Salad

O.K., we WISH we could train the California Ground Squirrels that threaten to overrun our yard (see "Baby Boom") to eat weeds and grasses and stay away from our veggies, but we thought this little guy was making a good start.  

The baby squirrels are getting bigger every day, thanks mostly to the quantities of bird seed they are consuming, but this little one spent quite a while chewing on grasses.

I guess he likes a little variety to his diet.  That's fine as long as he sticks to weeds.
