There are skunks which arrive in our front yard now and again.
At one point there were three skunks in our front yard, eating snails and mealworms. I sprinkle the yard with mealworms for birds to snack upon. I had no idea it would draw other creatures. Skunks are magnificent. An adult and two young ones would come by between 2340 and 0330 hours over the course of two weeks. An adult skunk was hit by a vehicle a few blocks away, and the young ones began to visit less frequently. I have not seen them together in two months time. A single juvenile skunk will appear in the front yard. Watching this nocturnal mammal eat worms and snails is pleasing. Fresh water is placed in a bowl each day.
Our neighbor’s dog got too close one night.
I named them Skunky Brewster, Skunkadelic, and Skuncle Buck.
