Squirrel Wars

Every so often I'll look out in the back yard and see a big pile of leaves that have covered the ground just beneath one of our big trees. I just saw a new pile of them this morning! These are fresh green leaves with the limbs still attached. They aren't dead leaves that are falling due to the season.

Recently we came home from a trip and noticed all the leaves on the ground and we wondered if it could have been some kind of big storm that blew through and knocked down all the leaves or..... lightening maybe that struck the tree and sent leaves sailing to the ground??

We do have tons of squirrels in our back yard and I have thought that maybe it could be them. But they are small and don't look like they could cause much damage.


UNTIL I saw this and then realized....COULD IT BE??
