Relocating rock squirrels...

is going well, having captured and released five (5) so far. A nearby neighbor is doing the same, releasing his in the same area where I release mine, painting his tails blue while I paint my tails orange.

Afternoon update: Make that seven. Got another one. I suspect one more may be lurking at my place.

This afternoon’s evictee, already painted with an orange tail and ready to travel to its new home.
