I took these photos though my new 80% sun-reduction screens. During the day you can't see through them to the inside of the house, so I had time to get the camera and take a few pictures without him seeing me. I thought he may have buried a few seeds under the Agave in the planter, and he was digging them up to munch on. As I watched him dig deeper with dirt flying everywhere, I opened the door to scare him off. When I looked into the planter, I found that he was eating the Agave roots!
I guess we will have to set a trap, and if we catch him, we'll take him to a desert wash area down the block from the house. Hopefully that will be far enough away for him not to find his way back. Or, maybe he will remember the trap scare and not want to come back! As Sarah Jessica Parker once said, "You can't be friends with a squirrel! A squirrel is just a rat with a cuter outfit."

Why that little booger...
A friend of mine puts chicken wire around her plants then covers it with mulch... it keeps the squirrels here from digging, but I don't know about the ones there...
How darn cute!!! Good luck with the capture! Maybe you could just do the chicken wire thing Claude mentions...
