Oh my gosh, this is a funny topic, really. My dad HATES squirrels. His last house, he would sit in his bedroom, window open and aim and fire at them. He lived in the country at the time.

So.. being the daughter who likes to tease, I started giving him squirrel gifts 😂😂. Socks, ties, flags, statues for his garden, salt and pepper shakers... and I’d sign them from Mr. or Mrs. Squirrel.

They aren’t a nuisance here really. What drives me absolutely crazy hahaha.. are the Mourning Doves. They are different than the ones we had in San Diego. These have the most annoying song, ever lol.

I still absolutely think the geese are amazing. Oh and last weekend we drove up to the mountains to deliver a sink top we had rebuilt for this lady. Her house is a log cabin, absolutely beautiful. Lots of antiques, which the bathroom cabinet is. On the way home, we saw a herd of somewhere between 50-75 elk! At first I thought they were like being raised on an elk farm hahahahahha.. then I realized they were wild. Ah, city girl still.

Slide alert!

> Mourning Doves

I find they are mainly ground feeders picking up the scraps.

> Elk

That is so cool! Here in MA and NH it’s all white tail deer.

When I was in my early teens, my Dad actually caught a grey and white squirrel that was feeding at the bird feeder. Just snuck up on it, grabbed it (he had leather work gloves on), and stuffed it into a cage. Later built a bigger, better cage with a squirrel-sized exercise wheel, and named it Peter 🤣. They kept her as a pet till her death, long after I had left home. (Yes, Peter turned out to be a girl....)
