WAR!

War has been officially declared in my back yard! The War between Lola, Rita and Sal. Yep, there are THREE and they all came together at 630 this morning right underneath the feeder. Lola chased Rita and Rita ran into Sal, who then chased Lola, and the three of them screeched and growled and whistled and chattered for almost an hour. they went their separate ways. Lola came back to the feeder and was up on top eating sunflower seeds. Then Rita waltzed back in, and started feeding Under the glass feeder in the grass. Soon Sal was there too, only she was on the squirrel feeder with her head buried in the feeder, digging for more peanuts. When she came up for air, Rita also did, and saw Sal and yelled at her. That made Lola peek over the edge, see them both, and scream, and start chasing all over again. Finally Lola was on the feeder, Sal was on the fence and Rita was sitting on top of Mariah's dog house...all grunting at each other, but all chomping down on sunflower seeds or cracked corn. The peanuts have all been stashed away for winter. Need to get some more. A truce was declared until all mouths were empty then it started all over again. IT was a HOOT watching them all. I Wish I could get close enough to mark them so I would know which one was which, and if there were any MORE lurking in the forest, waiting for an all clear to come Chow-down...
