Fred & miniFred

I wrestle with naughty Fred. I do love her, and her little kit. I'd blocked her 3rd or 4th attempt to get back to the hole under the garage at burrow #6. For a while she behaved!

Fred was doing some nest building at burrow #2 under the shed. 

The active burrows continue to be #s 2, 3, 4, 5, and again #6! My big fear is blocking her in and killing her. I am treading on the side of humane, as that would haunt me. I can only fill in the latest burrow if I see both Fred and miniFred out on the lawn at the same time. 

Apparently, I did not do a good enough job. 

She moved the log off of the tarp↕! Then pulled and shredded the tarp in the hole. 

Here are the two of them.

 

MiniFred

 

Turns out miniFred was on the driveway! Trimming weeds for me.

   

 I put the Wingscapes camera on the sidewalk. Busted!

 

She always disappears in August to go to her winter burrow. I have to figure out when that happens and act. I was thinking rocks or gravel. Maybe logs.
