ABSOLUTELY NO WORRIES is out now!

Skunks seem to be very active in late spring and summer, when the mom's need extra food and the kits start exploring. If you go out around dawn, you may see them.

I've always liked them, and after watching a couple of dens this summer, I love them!

And it's always nice to see them up close - that must have been a great experience!

Hmm, he took a bath in the river after this. Maybe he was hoping for some of those ideas that always strike in the shower.

This one took a bath in the river a couple of minutes after this photo. It was a lot of fun to watch.

Thanks! Pelicans summer here, too. Sometimes one or two will stay over winter, but they're mostly here in the warmer months. They're always fun to watch.

I'll check out your post!

Lol, I don't think a pelican would steal food from you - unless maybe you had a fish!

Thank you!

Aren't they beautiful?

I swear I resisted the urge to meow at this bobcat. Although I may have tried "pspsps, here kitty, here kitty" while looking for it again the next day...
