TURKEYS AND DEER…OVER HERE!

Foraging in-between,

Highway and exit ramp seen…

Acorns and grass

Singly en mass,

Turkeys and deer in-between!

CHANGING BUNKS

CHANGING BUNKS

–

In warmer weather male skunks,

Try to trade for new bunks…

Sleeping alone

They fight for their own,

Not willing to build double bunks!

–

The female skunk is fine

For a number of them reclined…

In the same den–

It’s warmer then–

A fact to which males aren’t resigned.

–

How do we know this goes on,

Just take a whiff near the lawn…

Smells acrid

When the males bid

For better bed rooms in which to sleep on!

HHEEEE’S BAAAAACK!

HHHEEEEE’S BAAAACK!!!!

 

I haven’t seen him for  a while,

But he’s come back with a smile…

Our ghostly white skunk

Unpacked his trunk,

Deciding that our grubs have style!

–

The camera just caught sight

Of a foraging skunk nearly white…

Recognizing that gait

I anticipate,

We’ll have to  walk carefully tonight.

–

I don’t see him in the flowers,

He’ll be on the lawn for hours…

Procuring his meal

With consummate zeal,

Confident in olfactory powers.
