Some of you may remember...

Last summer, I told you all about some of the wildlife at our warehouse. It wasn't all that long ago that where it's located was just fields, so it's not too surprising.

I was concerned about a mockingbird last year. He broke his left wing and couldn't fly. He survived all summer, I guess, by eating the bugs under the lights at night. I wondered what had become of him when it got colder.

I got my answer. He's back, and he can fly again. He still holds his left wing in an odd position, but he gets around just fine.

I was also sad about a skunk who got run over. I'd seen him a number of times, and he ignored me and went about his food-finding business.

The good news is that we have a new family of skunks, including at least 3 little kits, hanging around.

wow, cool! I do remember the skunk.

Wow that is great about the bird, it is amazing at how resilient some animals are.

As for the skunks, they are really cute animals, when I was kid we would often get them nesting under our barn. Most people freak out about skunks and automatically think they are going to be a problem. But they are very docile animals and if you don't bother them they will completely ignore you and other animals as well.

I'm so glad the mocking bird is back and flying!
