One thing I noticed in Breda's backyard.
Her squirrels are different. Commie squirrels. We don't have them around here. We do have black squirrel on my street, still. Spread out from the Univ. of Maryland is why, I'm told. The squirrels around are fewer and smaller. I think a hawk took care of a bunch this summer. Growing up we didn't see many raptors. Now, every lightpole seems to sport one. The air is cleaner now than in the 70s. How do I know? The sky around here is blue, not brown. Has been since Reagan. Fewer leaded gas fueled 450 cubic inch engines, maybe?
We don't have chipmunks about, and she does. Anymore. Outdoor cats took care of that, is my understanding. Her cats are indoor. Unless there is a jail break.
Also, saw a runned over coyote on the highway. Never seen a dead coyote around these here parts. I am assured we have them. Heck there has been sighting of them and bears inside DC. In Rock Creek Park.
Come to think of it, I have never seen a deer with a biggish rack in my life outside a taxidermy specimen. Big deer are dead on the shoulder, but none with horns. Of course, now that I've said something, I'll see one leaving my house on the way to work.

Are you certain about your links? The Breda link doesn't show her back yard, it goes to her post about female shooters. The Black Squirrel link also goes there.
We have plenty of grey squirrels and deer here, the deer regularly run through the yard - - a power corridor runs behind the house, and they live along it. We also have a resident pair of Red-Shouldered Hawks that we regularly see. Have also seen vultures and two different species of owl (Barred Owl and Barn Owl). Even the ocasional blacksnake.
Dangit, thanks Bob. Breda's link is as intended, but I need the squirrel!
I think we have gray squirrels, actually. And, oh, I fully expect our entire house to fall into a giant underground chipmunk cavern at some point.
You're still on to something. Kent, Ohio (Home of the Uber Liberal Kent State University, Go Hippies!), every couple of years has an article about their Black Squirrels. I think it's a case of Communist Socialism vs. Fascist Socialism. Either way, there's a Concentration Camp waiting for the Loser in the end.
The squirrels in your yard are not the same gray as the squirrels around her.
Hey, T-Bolt, here is some free blogfodder, via Rev. Paul.
With all the wildlife in Breda's backyard I think she and Mike could do some major damage with a pair of air rifles.
I wonder what commie squirrel tastes like wrapped in Bacon?
"Of course, now that I've said something, I'll see one leaving my house on the way to work."
You have deer in your house?? Outside the house, shouldn't they be on a leash? And where DO deer work? The nearby state park?
English, what a funny language.
They are Fox Squirrels, not red.
