Squirrel

Yup. This is what was in mom's front yard the other morning. I don't want to sound like I don't like animals - I do - but squirrels are on my 'do not like' list along with gophers and deer. Squirrels are nothing but rats with bushy tails. And they are such pests when you want to have a bird feeder.

I had trimmed some tree branches the other night and I believe this squirrel is munching on some of the buds from the branches.
