A few weeks ago, Mom & Dad came home to the scene above. It didn't take long for those highly evolved scavengers to figure out what the squirrels could not; they not only got past the Dome of Intrusion, but the next night, the family knocked the entire bird feeder down! This type of activity just could not continue at the Lodge and so entered Trap 1. The morning light revealed our first capture, obviously a bit dejected at his predicament.
The score stood at one juvenile down and 3 more, plus the Momma to go. Dad & I took a trip out to Sugar Creek Lake an dropped our friend off in a new neighborhood. That night, I brought Trap 2 and, predictably, we got two more. Another trip to the Lake for a double drop and that night we got Coon Kiddie Number Four! He was also promptly delivered to his siblings' new home. Amazingly, the momma hasn't been tempted by a smorgasbord of birdseed a' la bacon grease on a bed of rotting strawberries. I can't imagine why.
