Just today, a squirrel found a purple plastic Easter egg (the kind that has two halves and you can put stuff in the middle). It was larger than the squirrel's head. Anyway, he grabbed it off the ground, then ran over to some taller grass and proceeded to bury it. It made me and my husband laugh. He's going to be in for a disappointment when he realizes it doesn't have anything inside!
FYI, we have all kinds of toys in the backyard from the kids playing (2 and 3 yrs old). They've spread their toys quite effectively.

He probably couldn't believe his luck thinking it was an enormous nut!
I have seen squirrels frantically digging for nuts they have buried in the garden, they don't remember where they have buried them so they go running around like mad trying to find them.

We have way too may squirrels this year, my wife has to cover all the spring planting with wire mesh to keep them from digging things up. I have a few live traps and I remove 2-3 every week, drive them about 5 miles away. But it doesn't seem to help much, other squirrels just take their place. We have a neighbor who feeds them peanuts, so they come to our yard and bury them, but I don't think they ever find them! But they dig everywhere looking for them.

My dog was barking at a squirrel today and I saw it running off with her tennis ball. It was hilarious. Not sure what the squirrel thinks the tennis ball has inside.
Wow Thomas, our squirrels have never been destructive at all. They just climb around the trees and are nice to have in Los Angeles.
