The battle continues anew...

Today I discovered a dead branch on the tree. This was a branch that grew right in fron of my bedroom window and provided some nice greenery as well as some privacy. I have been wathcing this branch for some time because I had noticed that a lot of the bark was missing at the point the branch cam out from the main trunk.

The missing bark

Its obvious that some critter has been chewing the bark. But what kind of critter could that be? Hmmm..... Could it be... SQUIRRELS!?!?!?!?!?!

This means WAR!

I had taken a break from the "hunting" and was hoping to not be concerned with it for a while.

But not any more.
