Moorpark Squirrels

Squirrels are something new to us in the suburbs of Moorpark...I'm sure there are plenty of them in the more rural areas, but in our housing track, it's something new. Sure, we'd see an occasional squirrel, but now we're seeing them in pairs playing on our backyard wall.
Makes for something very entertaining for me and the Maggi beagle dog...
When Maggi sees them, she goes tearing out after them with all her vim and vigor! So funny!! You wouldn't guess that Maggi is 9 years old running after these critters!
They just run away or sashay their tails at her! But the dog sure isn't bored!! And I have fun watching too...

Do you know why they are showing up? We have to be careful with our bird feeders since the squirrels like to pound on them and get the food.

I love watching them bury nuts for the winter ...industrious little critters.

Yes, we have bird feeders, but they've been showing up even before then...it's fun to watch!
