A quiet night - but the fox did stop by....

Cold nights do not see much traffic - the raccoons don't hibernate - but they do into a "stupor".  The possums were still out and so was the fox.

Hawk in the backyard during the snow....

This hawk paid a visit - there was a large flock of birds flying around at the time - so it might have been hunting.

( I wasn't really that close - but I do have a long lens on the camera...)

Not many animals on a cold, snowy night - but a rabbit and fox - about 10 minutes apart.

Not many animals on a cold, snowy night - but a rabbit and fox - about 10 minutes apart. The rabbit we see once in a while, then the fox was there about 10 minutes later, after the rabbit had made a quick getaway.  Both around three in the morning - while the snow was falling.

Skunk decides to stay away....

The skunk was given the "eye" but the possum and decided not to try its luck - specially after the possum attacked it the other night.  The skunk is getting pretty fat - ready for Winter.....

A deer early, a fox later, and a possum-skunk fight....

An interesting night.  The deer was early at about 6:30pm, then the fox bounded in a few times at about 9:00pm.  Finally the skunk was eating when the possum attacked.  The skunks do NOT spray in those situations - it seems they only spray when the are chased.....
