This past week has been a new issue with our resident squirrel. He has lived in our pin oak tree for at least five years now. Never see any babies or an amore. He's been more pesky lately though. He tries to steal feed from the duck coop just about every day, and they chase him out of there and across their pen until he's outside their territory and a distance away. But now, he has discovered that there is free food in the large plastic garbage cans that we store the feed and supplements in, on our porch for many years. We assumed that the heavy plastic was strong enough to keep him out. Um... we were wrong.

We have ordered some metal trash cans to handle that problem and hope that he does not continue to chew into other types of containers we have outside for hay, and stuff. Rascal!
