["Carole Gobert" <cpgobert@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've noticed a definite drop-off in the squirrel population that comes to my 
yard.  They haven't been at the feeders, hogging the suet or coming for 
peanuts when I throw them out in the morning for the bluejays (instead of 
squirrels, two towhees have been showing up first thing, grabbing a peanut 
and flying off with it).  I wonder what happened to them as I usually have 
at least 4 or 5 squirrels, now just an occasional sighting of one.  Guess I 
should enjoy the respite; I'm sure they'll be back.
