    This is great. Love to hear it. Your wildlife loves you. Ours constantly assaults our premises.

      Love it. Just yesterday I caught a large toad (nearly camouflage with the color of the bark on our maple tree), which the kids loved seeing. I was about to mow the grass and it jumped for safety. Win-win!

      @89th Toads are awesome for eating slugs, the little snots that chew holes in my hostas. A couple days ago, I saw a small toad by the front porch. YAY!!

        @Mik Oh, Mik, we have finally gotten tough on the marauders, the deer that love to eat everything in our yard. We fenced in the backyard, and also most of the front yard on one side. They have to be civilised deer now and walk all the way to our front yard if they want to enter. And I am sure they eventually will. Doggone deer ...

          I mentioned in the other thread.... bunnies are our nemesis. Cute as hell, but love to chew early growth on hostas, black eyed susans, and lilies. We have a trap and I've caught quite a few. Rabbit stew tonight!

            @89th

            I agree! We have bunbuns that hang out on our property. Guess what?? Hubby thinks they're so CUUUUUUUTE, and he can't bear to do anything to keep them out. He says they don't eat much.

            Sigh.

            Please send recipes.

              We have a heap of rabbits and toads. Mrs. Phibes has taken to naming the bunnies, so I don't think humane disposal is on the cards. Chipmunks are equally as cute and annoying as bunnies, however our dog caught one a few weeks back, and they've been noticeably more restrained since then.

              I was only joking

                  I have to Google this one.

                  TIL
                  We have at least two kinds of these critters in Minnesota. I don't think I have ever seen one here.

                    We had either a fisher or weasel walk up the drive a couple of weeks ago. Naturally, the dogs went completely bonkers. We see a lot more variety in Rhode Island than we did in Foxboro, as we're right on the edge of a fair amount of countryside.

                      Really? My experience tells me that Foxboro was absolutely overflowing with weasels a few years back.

                        This fellow was in our yard last month...

                        image.png

                        And these two strolled past the house - a long way from any forested areas.

                          Your deer are like ours, so urban that they use the public sidewalks. 😄

                            We see them strolling down the walking trails almost every day.
