Furry Fruit Felon

There is nothing quite like the taste of fresh strawberries from your own garden.

The last couple winters I have grown a few earth boxes full of strawberries

 with much success. We have harvested a hand full of berries almost every day.

This year started well and then I noticed that berries were disappearing.

There is nothing more frustrating then watching a perfectly formed berry

start to ripen and then poof! Gone.

One time, bits of berry were left with leaves.

Outrageous!

I set up a camera to record the garden in hopes of solving the crime.

It only took one day.

The Furry Fruit Felon has been identified.

The menace.

      A Squirrel with a sweet tooth.         

Here is a video I put together that shows the perpetrator in action.
