Thanks Barb, most of our squirrels are Black actually, with a smattering of Greys. Black/Grey, it's the same species - Grey Squirrel. Black (and even White) squirrels are just a color phase. -- derek |

"Ka30P" wrote in message ... When my parents lived in Central Oregon they put out peanuts for the squirrels and the blue jays, who they nicknamed, The Blues Brothers. They fed them on the deck off the kitchen. If my parents decided to sleep in on a Sunday the blue jays would hang out under their bedroom window and set up a racket to wake them up to start the morning's peanut delivery. In our case it's the Cardinals. They come up to the door and start cheaping for their peanuts. If you don't respond quickly enough, the male breaks out into one of his many songs. Even the sparrows have gotten into the act this year, some days there must be 30 of them sitting in the tree waiting for their handout. The Jays are few and far between (West Nile), but there is one who occasionally screams for his peanuts. There's a world of difference between a Cardinal, singing for his supper (OK, breakfast, but that destroys both the alliteration and the allusion), and a Jay screaming for it. Jays are really beautiful but they're not very good neighbors. Cardinals in the morning are definitely one of the (few) things I miss about Ontario. Funny thing is, I've never actually found many birds eating peanuts - we must be spending too much money on the other food, only the best quality sunflower seeds for them... -- derek |

Chipmunks are very crafty!!! We had repeated problems with the A/C of our
car -- turned out to be a chipmunk nest lined with pretty pink insulation! Grrrrrrr Anne Lurie Raleigh, NC "Ka30P" wrote in message ... Bill wrote Damn Squirrels, they're stealing all the creek stones from around my pond. That's a new one!! I wonder what the heck they are doing with them? This summer we watched a chipmunk steal napkins out of a napkin holder and run off with them. We figured he would have the coziest nest in Oregon this winter. kathy :-) algae primer http://hometown.aol.com/ka30p/myhomepage/garden.html |
