For the past few days the squirrels worked hard chewing off the branch tips with their acorn clusters and dropping them on the lawn . Then they feast on the acorns in comfort on the lawn. Late afternoon yesterday they have uninvited dinner guests. Two deer took advantage of all the squirrel's hard work and cleaned up the acorns in no time. My squirrels are slow learners for they are hard at work again this morning dropping acorn clusters on the lawn. 1 of 3: My Pictures\feast\IMG_2123.JPG 2 of 3: My Pictures\feast\IMG_2121.JPG There appears to be a growth on the side of this little guy.
