Residents of a Maryland neighborhood discovered an unexpected four-legged visitor in the vicinity, while an article from the San Francisco Chronicle details approaches to dealing with raccoons in the garden. A large cougar, estimated at 200 lbs, was sunning itself in a local park when spotted by a Glendale Police Department helicopter, but a dangerous situation could have developed when cougars young and old were spotted by a jogger in Central California near a deer kill. Aurora, Colorado, is trying to educate the public on coyotes, rather than hunting them down, and a sheriff in Kansas is exploring ways to humanely reduce the coyote population. The search is on by San Jose police after a rescued hawk and owl were released from an aviary, and Florida eagle watchers are reporting activity at two dozen nests in Pinellas County, with eaglets apparent in several of them, while parrots on New Zealand's South Island are having problems, apparently due to possum predation. We conclude today with a quartet of skunk stories: Texas authorities discovered a rabid skunk near Amarillo, the state's first incident this year; motorists in Texas are warned to watch the road, otherwise they may end up with a stinky road kill; wildlife officials in Michigan are advising people to watch where they step as skunk mating season has a tendency to leave behind smelly deposits when female skunks make their rejection of a suitor odorous; and libraries are known for musty-smelling books, but one in Pennsylvania has a bit more 'atmosphere' than usual!
