The thieving squirrels you enjoyed today were my (Skeeter) critters. We do confuse at times, for this I am sorry. Yep, those squirrels are something else. I am sure more then one stole the faux snow as I see it high in many trees and nest scattered all about our woods. They are so humorous sneaking up on the porch to steal it.
