I’ve been seeing them do that since the mid ‘80’s. Quail, mice, the squirrels I’ve shot and killed. All on the menu for the CA Ground Squirrel. Filthy fuzzy tailed rats is what they are.
Same here... they definitely eat the meat scraps I throw out for my favorite fox!

Probably just some delusional vegan researcher who got a PhD. for watching squirrels eating nuts... now thinks she can get headlines by saying that climate change is turning squirrels into furry little velociraptors.

Difference between a rat and a squirrel? Good marketing!

The funny was watching one of my Grandmother’s neighbors feeding the quail and a squirrel comes up like it was after the chicken scratch. When it got close, it grabbed one of the juvenile quail and took off. Boy was that Little Old Lady PISSED! 🤣
 

We call it Watergate Salad.
My grandma always made it for holidays.
As I got older and still loved it, she would have a big Tupperware with a batch just for me to take home after the festivities.

Always miss her at Christmas.
She loved decorating and getting everyone a little something.
And she really loved family time and board games.

Playing Wahoo, a board game out of Appalachia, one Christmas when I was about 17, my grandma got fired up when I kept knocking one of her marbles back to “home” and called me a “little rotten cock sucker!” for it.
And then laughed her butt off.
Mouth like a Marine. Heart the size of Texas.

I still have and use her old coffee thermos from when she worked for Lisle Tool Company.
 
The other side of my Stonehenge season tracker.

The Mayans built these two structures so that the winter sun would rise perfectly between the two…..

Summer side view has been enhanced with the cut down of a dead tree…the pyramid is 100% unobstructed.

The Winter sun shines right into these windows of our South east facing cottage.

As soon as the sun rises, the heating system in our little cottage shuts down as the temperatures inside get well above 70. Nothing better than to come in from an early winter’s hunt, to warm up in front of that window looking at the ducks as they swim about in the cove of the lake we live on. It’s all but a dream come true.

Our little cottage.

Mine was some orange side made from tapioca pudding, whipped cream, & mandarin oranges. I would ask if this particular aunt was in her way and everyone would laugh because they knew what I was really wondering about. I could eat a plate full of that stuff

As I got to my teens, I was her golden grandson…..
I could do no wrong. Had I killed someone she would have said “clearly they needed it”.
she lived 20 miles away, so we helped with anything she needed and would have dinner with her often.
Her house or have her over to ours.
She went on loads of camping trips with us. Loved camping in CO (on the ground in a tent in her late 60’s). Percolator coffee and a campfire.

When she was on hospice with lung cancer, the last days she was in and out of lucid thought a lot.
Day before she passed, after sleeping and being out of it for several hours, she opened her eyes big, looked right at me and said “What the fuck are you doing here??? You think I am going to die?”

She gave the entire room “the look” and they filed out and we had a nice talk for at least an hour. Closer to 90 min I think.

I count my blessings daily.
Remembering all the great times growing up close to and very tight knit with my grandparents is one that keeps coming up a lot lately.
 
My kinda teacher! 🤣
