Consequently, we have not only birds and squirrels, but also rabbits, skunks, possums, fox, deer, and coyote. It’s practically the identical mix of native North American fauna that the colonists found when they first settled this part of the world — all that’s missing is bear and mountain lions, and they’re closer than most people realize.

So, more likely, it's a single out looking for food. Crazy as our winter weather has been, you can't blame the skunks for being a little confused!

And keep the sardines handy. Keep that critter on the west side! (We got nailed twice last year!)

We've got some really funny skunk stories in my family. Hopefully my dad will blog one of them now. My sister, otoh, will probably need to be bribed to tell hers, since she was actually, er, "perfumed" by one. I closed in on him to about 10 feet!
