Hooded skunk.  Set up for a little camera trapping last night.  Have lots of ideas for this season, but keeping it simple for starters.  We have two hooded skunks, and as of the night before, I can now confirm that we also have two stripped skunks – they were making a lot of noise!  On occasion, we see a spotted skunk as well, but infrequently.  The hooded and stripped pretty much ignore me now if we cross paths on the property.

Actually captured this photo as I sat in the lower photo blind Saturday night! Nice bonus to the birds. I didn’t need the blind for the moon as it isn’t scared of me… but maybe it should be.

Between guests and other commitments, I haven’t had a chance to pick up a camera for a couple of weeks.  Will a last minute cancellation changed that, so I went down to the lower blind for 30 minutes – gosh, it is so fun down there, I’m lucky to have such a place at my finger tips!  I so love the background down there, it is just more a matter of what do a want to place in front of it!  This is a mockingbird.
