My little rodent friends seem to be grouping up lately. Lots of movement and activity, not sure what they are up too but they seem to have two bases of operation in my yard now. Haven't caught one in a bird feeder lately so there must be plenty of nuts around for them.

we had to get one of those Yankee birdfeeders to keep them out. we always know when it's lost it's charge - they attack it! then we recharge and watch the fun as they try again! HILARIOUS!!

Core, I think they are mating .. I know mine are .. just wondering where I might get birth control for squirrels.
