Still Around

What Are YOU Looking At?
We were having lunch out on our patio today when Cindy drew my attention to a California Ground Squirrel who had screeched to a halt and plopped down to chew on some seeds on the garden wall about ten feet from our table.

I couldn't believe how bold this guy was, but he seemed right at home, eating his snack and taking a very short nap on the cool stone wall.

Then he was off again, scampering up the driveway to find more seeds, I guess.

Nap Time
So there are still a few squirrels around; the fox and the hawk haven't taken all of them out.  However, they now seem to be much more cautious, staying under cover or at least out of exposed positions.

Anyway, he wasn't afraid of us, since he obviously knew he could be long gone if we made a move toward him.
