You are so right.? It's crazy how many critters go through our yard.? In Raleigh, we live in town on a small lot.? One recent Thanksgiving as we were dining, we saw in the back ivy, a perfectly composed deer just sitting in the ivy, munching away.? Guess he decided to join us for lunch.? Then a fox trotted across the terrace.? We couldn't believe it.? Downtown, there are coyotes.? Rabbits, definitely except the dratted cats hunt them mercilessly.
Hawks!? We were having a get together and as the ladies were arriving, a hawk swooped down, pinned a squirrel and began eating him right in front of them.? Yikes.? Not appetizing and anyone but the hawk.? They live on the ledges of the high-rises a little farther into the down town area
Always raccoons at night.? One afternoon, there was a mamma raccoon teaching her three cubs how to use the bench to climb our back wall.? So cute!
