Skunk in My Feeder?

Ok, not in the feeder — but there’s one out there right now, feasting on what the birds dropped on  the ground.  A couple of weeks ago, I had a raccoon in the Dogwood stealing from the bird feeders.  Last night, something got into the trash on the deck and now there is a skunk not 15 feet from the window.  I should probably reconsider feeding the birds, since it’s bringing other critters calling.  :-(

The cats are going crazy looking the skunk, but it doesn’t seem to have noticed yet.  It walks with an extreme limp, so I can only imagine that it was one of the lucky ones.  We’ve got foxes around — I found a couple of dismembered skunks on the hill last summer.  I saw some “fox, raccoon, skunk, groundhog and snake” repellent at the hardware store today — maybe I should pick some up.

Critters!!
