Aw, he was just saving up some Turkey Jerky for the winter.

No problem.
I've taken the co-existance approach: wall everything up in a greenhouse.
The squirrels are now pets. They come and do tricks for peanuts every
morning at my back door.

On another subject:
I just got a catalog from J.L. Hudson: "The 1993 Ethnobotanical Catalog of
Seeds". In it there is a section of seeds collected by the aboriginal
Zapotec people of the Sierra Madre del Sur, in southern Oaxaca, Mexico.
One of the seeds is described as: "Agarra Mosca Violeta" (Pinguicula)
Forms small flat rosettes up to 6" across of round leaves covered with
sticky hairs and with turned-up edges. Has a single purple-red flower on an
8" stalk. Grows on moist rocky cliffs and steep embankments. The seed is
very tiny and difficult to secure.
Not much of a description, but any idea what this might be? P. moranensis
maybe? According to the catalog, this plant has been "grown by this tribe
since pre-history". At $1.25/pack, I think I'll order some.
