So when I just went back to refill up my coffee mug I again noticed that a squirrel was digging around in a few of the plants.
This time instead of grabbing my water squirter I reverted to loud noise making. Though the squirrel didn't immediately leave the balcony it didn't take too long before it was at the furthest point away from me and then looking an escape route.
Amazingly, this time, instead of just jumping off of the side of the balcony, the squirrel climbed up one of the support beams and then into a tree.
I'm not if I should be tricked into thinking that this is a different, smarter, squirrel or if the first squirrel has finally realized that just jumping from a third storey balcony onto a garage roof below is not the best idea.
Just to be clear, until today I'd only actually seen the squirrels in the plants one time (though they frequently leave evidence of their visits). I have no idea why they keep visiting today, but hopefully I've seen the last of them for the day (but I guess I thought the same thing the first time I saw a squirrel make a hail Mary blind jump from the balcony to a roof below).
