squirrels and magnolias

Sitting at the computer desk and looking out the bedroom window, I notice a squirrel in my front yard that is working its way down a tree and INTO my mailbox. I grab the camera and make way out the front door, tip-toeing ever so quietly out into the yard. But darn-it-all, the little bugger has already run off and up the tree. Did he snatch a little magnolia blossom for himself?
