They're Baaaack.

Four Young Squirrels

The California Ground Squirrels have reappeared in force lately; we thought the Gopher Snake had wiped them out completely,  but we began seeing them again a couple of weeks ago under our bird feeder.

We found Big Mama Squirrel inside the enclosure for the avocado tree and then we discovered that they had also found a way to get under the anti-varmint panels around the raised beds and chewed their way through the bird netting around the blueberry plants and absconded with most of the remaining blueberries.

They're cute, but they're also voracious.
