When I checked on the piles earlier this season, they were all gone. This particular squirrel has a big nest in a tree right in front of our kitchen window. I'll keep tabs on him. Or maybe next spring, we'll have corn growing in the back yard, and then we'll know how lousy his reconnaissance is.<br /><br />I had a cat who used to chitter as well. He'd sit in the window near the bird feeder, transfixed. It was hilarious to watch.<br /><br />Little Capucine bolted outside the other day. The lure of the out-of-doors is too great for her. I corralled her, and we'll try and keep her in for the winter. Next spring, we'll see. Both she and Tessie are totally camouflaged, so I'm hoping this will help their longevity.Shim Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18148782353052767022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-136541991481312371.post-21160506767749485062012-11-28T01:09:00.632-05:002012-11-28T01:09:00.632-05:00Exactly how does the squirrel remember where all t...Exactly how does the squirrel remember where all those kernels of corn are?!<br /><br />I had an indoor cat a long time ago who used to make a very particular chittering noise when she saw prey from the window. She spent hours looking out the window, which almost made me relent and let her be an outdoor cat. Almost.Miriamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04500606532723836054noreply@blogger.com
