Well...the peaches were obviously still young, so they didn't have as much meat to them. But my guess is the word got out and there were a few families that got into the act.
We don't have any other wildlife in this suburb that could have gotten into the tree to eat them. We have plenty of deer around, but they don't wander out of the woods down the street, plus the tree had peaches up to nearly 10' off the ground which a deer couldn't get to. Besides, some evidence was strewn around the yard: little peaches with scrape-type bites all around the young pits. Some of them had been completely eaten all the way down to the pit, and some only partially eaten.
After a couple minutes of discussion and deliberation, the jury of one man, one woman, and one dog came back with a unanimous guilty verdict on the squirrels!
