Caught a squirrel up in my attic room at my parent's house today. Took it to Flushing-Meadow Park and released it there - I figure that's far enough away that it won't come back, and still gives it the best chance of survival.
This is the third squirrel this year. At least this one was alive. It was also the most destructive, leaving lots of evidence of its raiding. I really wish my father would get the hole in the roof I discovered fixed so no more break in.
On a very slightly related note, a few days ago I saw the South Park "Starvin Marvin" episode for the first time, and watched the residents get attacked by killer turkeys, until they fight back and kill them all.
The next day, the front cover of NY Newsday announced an emergency turkey hunting season in Suffolk County because of repeated attacks by a booming population of wild turkeys. Life imitating Art?
