#Degradation: Orange completely eaten out from the inside, with only the outer skin left hanging on the branch, is a signature of #roofrats, and indication of larger problem when occurring adjacent to #majorroads and sidewalks. Neighbors have been manicuring the thicker brush that existed and provided cover for skunks and other rat predators; and now are using rat poison which causes other predators like Hawks and owls, especially barn, to succumb up the food chain. The wider dispersal of rats is a recent COVID consequence.
