What a weird day. I finally fixed my mower, but spent most of the day raking starballs in the yard. When I came home after a noon meeting, there was a young turkey at the end of the driveway. I pulled in slowly to keep from scaring it, but it moved off toward the tennis court. As I pulled to a stop, I noticed a coyote running away across the dam of the pond. Daytime siting! I'm sure the turkey was aware of it, and torn between running away from me and into the jaws of the coyote.
Later that evening, I was sitting at the kitchen table reading the newspaper and noticed that an enormous raccoon was about 3' away from me on the other side of the sliding glass door. It figured out I was there about the same time I noticed it. I put a half a loaf of old stale bread out on the deck, and it was gone by morning. I'm just running the Critter Cafe here.
