Neighborhood Critters

Do you ever see wild animals?

Sometimes, since I live right next to a ravine. It depends on the time of the year.

In the spring, I spot a lot of bunnies grazing on the clovers, and then in summer, I might see a fo or two.

One time, I was heading to the mall, and I came down the steps and heard rustling in the bushes. A fox emerged and walked toward me. I kept still, and it looked at me, and it walked right past me like “eh you’re not a threat.”

Another story was a few months after seeing an adult snapping turtle across the street, we discovered she laid her eggs near the ravine so we helped gather the babies to lead them to the river as she had already left.

I even see coyotes, skunks, and raccoons from time to time as well. I always keep my distance from those!
