We have never had squirrels where we live in Placentia, although other people do, but this year there have been three or four running along the fences and over in the park. Oddly enough, there were at least six squirrels at Mary and Joe's in San Juan Bautista. Whereas before I had only seen a couple now and then. They are very brazen and busily chase off the birds and gobble their food.
Here is one on the deck - he started running when I got close to the window to take a picture.
They drink from the bird bath right along with the birds and the deer. Mary has to refill it in the morning and again at mid-day. There are not many sources of water during the drought.
I'm surprised that the resident bobcat doesn't have squirrel for a meal.
This is the food she puts out for the jays, both Stellar and Scrub.
