Squirrels Driving Home Sunday Night

We have also noticed a lot more grey squirrels this year, but yesterday on the dock we saw something new. We were looking out from our dock (Rattlesnake facing Sleepers/Treasure), and saw something swimming way out. My daughter thought it was an otter, my wife thought it must be a turtle. Finally, a red squirrel climbed up our dock and ran up to shore! We couldn't believe that it swam that far! In the past, we have also seen a flock of turkeys swim over from Sleepers...

While I don't mind grey squirrels, the red one's are horrible! They make the worst noise at 5am, and are really destructive as they find places underneath the house to hide their food stores. Hopefully a lot don't make it through this winter...
