At 7am this morning, a racoon was eating the cat food we put out on our front porch. This has happened a couple of times in the past, but this racoon was acting different, staying in broad daylight and not running away when I yelled at it. Instead, it hissed at me.
An aggressive coyote growled and ran right at me from the trail at RCA Park as I was entering my back door Friday late night 07/02/2021. I put a trail cam on a tripod on my side of the property line aimed at the trail. The picture is a screen shot from a video taken the next night.
Hi Folks...a buck with a wounded (broken?) back right leg in the Winslow Farm area of Bloomington. He can hop with a little pressure on it. Not sure if anything can be done, just feel sorry for the fella. Thank you.
Skunk has been making frequent foraging visits to my back yard. I have pet cats that quite often go outside in the late evening and early night hours. I am concerned there will be a very unpleasant encounter. I am requesting the skunk be captured and relocated.
Dead dear in the road on Henderson
Rats
There is a dead skunk that is located outside of 817 W 11th Street. Its body is partially in the road and partially on the sidewalk as if it was trying to climb up it and died. It's been laying there for 2 days and flies have started gathering and of course the smell is awful.
Deer with obvious broken/wounded rear leg in my backyard. Walks with a severe limp.
There is an active wasp nest in basketball hoop closest to the the playground and the creek. The nest is underneath the guard connecting the hoop to the backboard.
There is a large pile of cut wood (sorry the image is upside-down) directly to the south of my property. I think there are a large number of chipmunks that are nesting in the pile and subsequently digging up my lawn and flower beds. Is there a way to get rid of the pile and stumps so that the chipmunks are not located so close to my plants and yard? Could I just list it as free firewood on Facebook Marketplace? I would appreciate any guidance that can be offered.
