Wow! This is getting very intense!!!! So glad U R back and feeling better Julie!!!! And by the way, we have red, grey and black squirrels here...had one old one (red) cuss me out real good today from his tree....came within two feet of me with a nut in his mouth, a missing ear and a mostly healed wound behind his front left paw! Even with the nut in his mouth he kept scoulding me...if it hadn't been for the fact that he HAD the big nut in his mouth, I might have been a bit worried that he was going to attack me or something he came so close!!!! I was checking out plants at the arb when I musta got too close to his tree!!!! He didn't like it one bit!!!! Musta been pretty old, I think, because he was so beat up yet scrappy as the dickens!!! Can't wait for the nest post!!!
