Wildlife at home

[Paul Wagner]

Despite the fact that we live in downtown Napa, this morning we were having breakfast when M noticed something odd in our fishpond–a great disturbance.  Water was splashing everywhere.  When we went out to investigate we found a river otter was dining on our goldfish sushi…. We chased him away…and he was back in five minutes.  Apparently the sushi was delicious.  Then we chased him away with more determination, and we think he headed back to the creek behind our house.  He’ll probably return for thirds at some point…sigh.

I’m in the middle of a city and we get so many deer behind my house, I’m worried about catching Lyme Disease when I grill out. There was also the time two crows were fighting a raccoon.
