    Close call. They will eat cat food if you leave it outside. We had outside cats as kids and all sorts of critters came on by. Pretty sure someone in my house got sprayed.

    last night I forgot to bring in Butchs bowl. Imagine he left some dry food in the bowl like usual. for a feral he's well fed by me alone and I know others in the neighborhood feed him too.

    early evening its the raccoons. sometimes overlaps with the possums. then 2-4 am is a skunk. was surprised to see one at 630 or so in full daylight......

    left him/her alone and it exited the yard fairly quickly.

    I'm glad you didn't get skunk sprayed, M!  The thought is horrifying!
    Years ago, I lived in a single-wide mobile home and a skunk sprayed the outside of a wall right where I had my LPs line up in alpha order along the want.  Literally for a few years after that the "E"s had a slight skunk smell.  Sorry, Brian Eno!

    I was surprised to see him/her. This was near an owls nest that had attracted a lot of birders. This was the first time I had a day time sighting.
    That same morning I had a bald eagle fly about 15 ft over me my head. No time to get out the phone/camera.

    saw a youngish(based on size) Bald Eagle today flying across our outerbelt while I was driving home from work. Following Alum Creek.....

    Home Improvement BUTCH Edition.

    Put together a little platform for Butch's house and water using an odd size pallet and section of unused cedar fencing. He's now almost level.

    wren has been feasting and feeding its young. First thought it was getting stuff from a pine tree. Looked closer.

    Learned that ants will move their nest if they find a better place. Nature never fails to fascinate

    Chicken?

    While waiting to get my teeth cleaning done at the dentist (and there' nothing I love more than getting my teeth scraped... not!), I spotted these wild turkey chicks that are approaching adolescence wandering around outside the office window.  Apparently they live in the bushes on the other side of the building, but venture out into the parking lot now and then.

    They look prehistoric to me. Nice sighting.
