I love these little critters. I had to laugh at all the researchers saying they don't remember where they buried 60% of their nuts. I get up every 2 hours at night to take my medication and would open my sliding door to smoke. Well, I had about 18 pounds of shelled almonds that I had been feeding the squirrels during the day. What I discovered is that the racoons were digging up the nuts and eating them at night! Gotta love nature, we can never outsmart it.

So live it with a will,
Don't wait until tomorrow,
The hands may then be still.
