I was outside the other day and I noticed a squirrel on a neighbor's tree. Then I seen it go on the telephone line and traveled to another tree.
The thing is that I have never seen a squirrel in my backyard area before. I have seen rats travel the telephone lines before, but not squirrels.
Another thing I remember is I was on a freeway and on the side of the road I seen 3 squirrels on different parts of the freeway.
So where did these squirrels come from? Now, that I think about it, remember all those fires that we had in California? Well, there was a lot of wildlife in those areas.
I think the California fires of this year brought the squirrels. Now, I could be wrong and maybe these squirrels are just migrating, but in those fires they would have to go somewhere.
Now I am not saying I have never seen squirrels in my city. I have seen them near a railroad with burrows dug around a big tree. Maybe they like the seeds that came from that tree, but that place is on the other side of town.
Well, anyway who knows why I seen a squirrel traveling on the telephone lines. I guess they are in my neighborhood now.
I actually don't mind squirrels too much. I'd rather look at a squirrel up in the trees than a rat up in the trees. Squirrels are those animals that I liked looking at as a kid.
There are some things I have to be careful with though, I read that they like green tomatoes. Well, we will see how that goes, since I still have tomatoes on the vine.
Well, I have skunks in my area and now I have squirrels in my area. I just don't want to see any snakes in my area.
