I put out peanuts and sunflower seeds for the squirrels. I had plenty of visitors, including my girlie - Squirrelie. I ran out of goodies for a couple days so figured they just weren't as obvious since I had no food out. But since I got more peanuts and seeds, I have not seen any squirrels! Today I saw a black one in my yard but usually there are lots of squirrels partaking of the offerings. I'm afraid to hear that this is indicative of some predator moving through the area.
