I\u2019ve seen the little fella now a few times \u2026 and now we\u2019re beginning to think we\u2019ve got a problem, like realizing the church pianist might do better at a different church\u2026<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
Anyway, we\u2019ve got a skunk who has discovered that he can feed nightly at our bird feeder. We want to be hospitable but extending such to skunks could create all sorts of problems. So\u2026.\n
