No ...Last night was very quiet around the retreat. No raccoons, no skunk(s) - no nothing. Too quiet for me. As for porcupines - I have only seen one and that was many years ago in the Laurentians. That little critter 'rattled' up the nearest tree where he could observe me as the tree swayed back and forth under his weight. Oddly enough probably the only animal we never saw there was the raccoon. ATB!

They squawk and caw all day long.<br />The hedgehogs have either not come out of hibernation in the garden yet, or they've all died in the harsh winter.Frikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04277167831642088694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-179072149199219335.post-83706649518044177342010-04-17T18:07:46.055-04:002010-04-17T18:07:46.055-04:00It's spring at your house, June!

Suddenly, he jumped behind a tree and appeared on the other side clutching a small furry creature. When I stepped out on the deck to watch, he gazed at me for an instant before slowly moving on with his lunch. Have a good weekend!Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04984171407726520584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-179072149199219335.post-23196937430306885962010-04-17T17:34:53.647-04:002010-04-17T17:34:53.647-04:00I didn't know that about porcupines and salt! ...I didn't know that about porcupines and salt! <br /><br />Great eagle picture.Fran Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07935088780461825341noreply@blogger.com
