We have some really large great-horned owls here....there are about 3 nests in the neighborhood....it has been a time getting Gabbie to back off them when they are close to the house and calling.....she is getting more accustomed to them tho. Sure hate to hear about the the losses.....especially for the delivery girl......:(

they are tree rats in my humble opinion. that fancy tail doesn't fool me one bit. squirrel dumplings are tasty too. left to their own devices you won't have a peach left on your trees. I REALLY dislike tree rats!
Here, it's pears. Ate every pear off the 2 trees near the front on the property last few years, tho they had help from raccoons and maybe possums.

Now we're having issues with squirrels helping themselves to peaches off our trees. Since they aren't ripe yet, the critters are pulling them off the vine and sampling to see if they like it. They don't and toss them on the ground.
Them little buggers!

We baited the live trap last night with cooked chicken, tuna and some chunks of apple. We're thinking it might be a racoon out there since the chicken and tuna was gone but the trap not sprung. I have read that racoons avoid springing a trap by reaching in from the side of the trap. We are setting up the game camera but aren't seeing anything.

Teresa put up a bunch of Zucchini Pickles this morning so if the squash vine borers show up anytime soon we already have what we wanted out of the plants.

Quick funny - Teresa and I were in the check out line at TSC and she said shoulder hurt. I said it was probably from all the hoein' that we had been doing. She looked at the man standing behind me who was doing his best to not crack up. He said I'm sorry and I know it's garden season but that just hit me wrong and I couldn't suppress the laugh. :lol:
