  1. One of the things we enjoyed most was watching the squirrel antics on the back deck at my cousins’ in WA. They’ve been feeding their flock, and the little beggars are quite demanding.

  2. We have three “resident” squirrels at our squirrel feeder. They take turns coming in for food. We are always aware of the odd chance two of them meeting – then all hell breaks loose outside.

    Fighting squirrels are very, very noisy. 🙂
