No pics from my last encounter with the local wildlife, past tense.

I set a rat trap and baited it with an almond, pre drilled a VERY firmly attached to the trigger. It's outside near a known path to the crawlspace. I have it nestled between two cinder blocks to deter the dog, but it did not keep the little towhee from his last supper.

Sadly, this is the second one lost to the dangers of my backyard jungle. The other day I found a big circle of feathers near the back gate. And a few on the trellis that goes over the gate. I'm guessing some raptor lunched there, spilling the fluffy bits as he dined.

Sorry little birdie.
