Mr. Unexpected

Well, not really . . . he has been leaving his calling cards near the garden for the last couple of weeks.

Wily is standing beside the sprinkler line at the edge of my big veggie garden. I was entering from the north. Peter Rabbit was nowhere to be seen.

WOW! In broad daylight too!

Geez, that was something of a surprise! Peter Rabbit might have changed his name to "lunch"!

 

[vfem]

I was going to say, right in the middle of the day?! Wow, brave paws over there!

Steve, before the full picture came up, I thought it was Peter Rabbit. Yikes!, You be careful now.

Doesn't look like he's missed very many meals, either.

 

[lesa]

Hey, at least he is a carnivore! He won't be munching on your bok choy!!

Well, that's what I've thought about coyotes.

This isn't where I have the chickens or where Garbanzo the Dog usually roams (I will have to make sure she isn't visiting until the "cover" of the garden has dropped down some.)

Dad used to claim that they will eat sweet corn but nothing has eaten my sweet corn this year for the 1st time since I can remember! Wily may be why the racoons haven't shown up. Usually, I have something of a race to see who will get the corn harvested 1st! Can't leave it for long - but, it just wasn't a problem this year.

I know they'll eat melons but it might be more for the water than the food value

Interesting.

I won't soon forget once coming across coyote dung containing all these plum seeds!

I mean, it was 90% plum seeds! Felt sorry for him . . .
