Our Doug

Our Douglas Squirrel had disappeared for a while and we were worried that he/she would never come back. But have no fear, he/she is back and with a friend too!  Kristina has seen at least two different "Dougs" in the backyard at the same time; we don't know if we always have the same two, or if different ones come in and out.  Regardless, we are just happy to have them back!

We did a post a few weeks ago about the love of peanuts, and here is one of them having some corn.  It is quite funny...as soon as the corn is refilled, at least one of them appears out of nowhere and takes up residence next to the corn cob eating until he/she looks like he/she is about to POP!  And, if a gray squirrel comes up to try and have a morsel while he/she is eating, the Doug chases them off and is quite feisty.  Apparently, those Douglas Squirrels know how to fend for themselves and defend themselves!
