Eastern Gray Squirrels are around all the time. Until I removed the water oak in 2016, they would bury acorns, or pretend to bury them, all over the back yard. This squirrel apparently had something to say on April 24, 2014.

The squirrels had multiple nests in the water oak.

Conflicts with my gardening plans - The squirrels have eaten from the following garden plants:

  • Tomatoes, except cherry tomatoes
  • Eggplant baby fruits still inside the calyx
