Chipmunk Contest Update #4

Our three cats have been on the look out for critters, but things have really slowed down in the backyard.

 

I haven't caught a chipmunk in a week, but I do have a ninja-like cardinal sneaking peanuts from the trap just about every day. Also, I've caught four sparrows now, which obviously need to take lessons from the cautious cardinal.



There are at least two raccoons left in my neighborhood, but they haven't been back in the last few nights. They must have found a better feeding area.  I hope they stay away for the time being, because there's been a new development . . .

Holy Cow! 

 My in-laws had their backyard ravaged by something one night and I'm taking the coon trap up north to try to help them out. What in the world could have done that to their lawn? 

I'm not done trapping the masked marauders, but things are on hold at least for a month or so.

The contest will continue until August 15, which allows for about two more weeks of trapping, but this will probably be the last update unless things pick up again.

Thanks for reading!
