Naughty squirrel....

....in my flower bed! 
I threw some peanuts out front this morning for "White Ears", which is what Tom calls one of the squirrels that frequently comes to visit our yard. We think it must be an older one, as it's coat and paws have a lot of white, it has really long white hair coming out on both sides of it's ears, & it's not as quick as some of the others. Within minutes there were 3 squirrels out there, one of which was White Ears & what appeared to be 2 younger ones. Poor White Ears was having trouble getting anywhere near the peanuts, as the 2 younger ones kept jumping on him/her and chasing him/her away. Tom, feeling sorry for old White Ears, took another handful of peanuts out and threw them in the other direction so he/she could go for those. Once the younger ones had finished off the first batch, one of those naughty youngsters headed over to the peanuts Tom had thrown, & the other naughty one went under the bird feeder to get the seeds dropped by the birds! They're not very good at sharing!!
