[RP TownTalk] Surprise visitor in the backyard!

[S Collins]

Thanks for sharing the great photos.  I still haven't seen any of the deer that are around RI Avenue and Ravenswood, but am ever-hopeful.   Lots of them (esp. in fall) up and down River Road, from Kenilworth Avenue to the College Park Metro area.  I agree, hopefully provisions w/ be made for the wildlife in the area.  I'd hate to think of kids growing up around here and thinking the only wild animals are rats, starlings, and pigeons.

 Also, I saw three six-point bucks walking together on the trail (old Rhode Island Ave) up near the Cafritz development at Tuckerman.  I slowed down and let them dart away, but it was surprising to see them -- and they were just as surprised to see me...
It definitely adds a sense of urgency to figuring out how to treat the old Field of Dreams and how to ensure that the M Square development retains a space for wildlife...

Funny you should mention raccoons, Sue.  One seems to have adopted us.  He's around pretty much everyday.  The Bobwhite has not returned since that leisurely visit he made four days ago.  (Photos of each attached)

Haven't seen/heard any for years, but good to know they're still around.   Our wildlife is fascinating, even the "ordinary" critters; saw a raccoon the other night, never ever have seen any that big - looked like a fuzzy beachball with legs!

 We've got a Northern Bobwhite dining in the backyard this evening. He seems to like the menu - he's been here nearly an hour now.  I'm quite sure we've never seen one before - anyone else sighted a Bobwhite at any point here in town?
