@lia -- Baby skunks are so cute and adorable! Kitten-like. There are videos online if you are unfamiliar. Adult skunks are cat-sized. To be sprayed by a skunk is violent trauma to the olfactory senses!
-
@lia OMG, what a powerful impression delivered by the skunk. :) The cat did the right thing, i mean the sense of smell is also strong in cats. After all, the olfactory cells are more pronounced than in humans. :) EDIT; Oops, are they ducks?

Riding my V1 up the grassy black walnut tree avenue this summer evening, a newly fledged bluebird attempted to land on my helmet. Very likely in its first flight, tired, flapping tender baby bird muscles, and wanting something above ground level to land on -- my faux wood-grain helmet looked right. But I was a moving target and the baby bluebird narrowly missed its mark. Of course, the bluebird parents were right there swooping and diving through the air, scolding me, and looking out for their young one, now perched in the grass.
All down the that quarter-mile lane I had put five nest boxes -- there for some years now -- and this year two or three had tree swallows nesting, with their iridescent green backs and white undersides, and two have bluebirds.
On a Onewheel ride last week, the four tree swallow fledglings were all perched together on the roof of their nest box -- one on each corner facing in, like sitting at a family dinner table.
And yes, this evening near the end of the black walnut avenue a young skunk looking for grubs was digging little holes in my smooth grassy lane. I rode four miles in about a half hour, back and forth, up and down the grass, and the skunk had only moved a few meters here or there each time.

Onewheeling in the grassy lane today I found the fresh remains of a skunk atop one of the big round mulch hay bales next to a sapling black walnut tree. Many tufts of black and white fur, a skunk head, and pitifully few skunk guts, all fairly neatly arranged like a science exhibit at a natural history museum -- that's all that was left of the skunk.
The predator? A Great Horned Owl in all probability. It is one of the select few predators that eat skunks.

Border Collies used to herd the goats around that they use to mow down the brush along the Sacramento River Parkway bike path. They do seem to enjoy their job!

I’ve watched these ducklings grow up this summer and finally snagged a photo of them this morning. Hard to see them but they are after the deck/ bridge. One of their parents are standing guard. I was respectful of the brood and let them cross before proceeding.

The orange dustcap is the attention to detail I appreciate in these builds :)Thanks! I've got a bowl full of plugs and caps in assorted colors. It's fun to change them up with the mood.
