wildlife

Stinky our local skunk was out and about last night, and it made me think about the other critters in our neighborhood. Skunks seem almost common; I've also seen possums, raccoons, and interrupted a half-grown hawk behind Store 24 one afternoon--he'd taken down a starling that was as big as he was, and was trying to peck it to death while it thrashed and shrieked. I ran him off, the dorkus. :P

Who else has had encounters with wildlife in Our Fair Square?

If you go uphill a bit: there's a pair of owls we've seen flying over Tufts, and a bird of prey of some sort which likes to perch on Goddard Chapel (on top of College Hill, the highest point for a long way around -- smart bird).

More skunks than I'd care to think about seem to die under local porches :/. Ewww.

...and, in fact, we just chased some bats out of the house.

Time to go back to bed...
