Mostly all we ever see are squirrels and the neighbours' dogs. The most annoying wild animals around here are the mice who have found their way into our attic.Almost Americanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17865905831387595915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29874674.post-9336567720010871162008-12-21T16:14:00.000-05:002008-12-21T16:14:00.000-05:00Bloody hell - I don't think I'd go outside then!

Probably just taking every advantage of good hunting time - and probably very hungry as you suggested Sandy! I know our rabbits (supposedly a bobcat favourite to eat) are still around in the winter as we see poop on the grass, but I'm sure the squirrels are equally yummy to a bobcat. We think we have 6 squirrels in our yard (up from just one when we moved in 4 years ago.) It will be interesting to see if we seem to have fewer squirrels now - we haven't seen ANY this morning, but with a foot of snow on the ground and snow still falling, I'm sure they're sitting tight and staying warm for now.Almost Americanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17865905831387595915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29874674.post-30165805939108170052008-12-20T10:26:00.000-05:002008-12-20T10:26:00.000-05:00Is it likely the bobcat was so hungry it came out ...Is it likely the bobcat was so hungry it came out hunting in daylight?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29874674.post-57135654329070303822008-12-20T08:01:00.000-05:002008-12-20T08:01:00.000-05:00Thanks Mmm.
