Wildlife Encounters

Recent encounters with wildlife in a variety of situations.

A Canada Goose family interrupts rush hour traffic in Boston.
A raccoon on a walking trail in Watertown, NY. The fact that this nocturnal creature was out in the daytime and behaving very strangely led us to believe it could have rabies. We turned around and ended our hike early.
We organized our camping gear this afternoon. While cleaning out boxes, we came across one that held a mouse nest. There were four babies hiding there. (We need mouse control in our outdoor shed!) Judging from previously encountered mice, these are probably white-footed deermice.
Mama mouse was no where to be seen. We hid the babies in vegetation outside the shed. While I don't want more mice, I sorta hope that mama will find her babies and save them.
