My resident possum (how are they different from opossums, or are they the same?) and the skunks have been pretty active consistently in my yard. And the past two nights the RACCOONS are BACK. All four of the so far. I'm waiting to see how many kits they bring with them come spring. Usually 4 new ones show up, it's hectic in my yard (which is probably urban wildlife friendly certifiable), and then the more aggressive ones chase off the lesser and I always end up with two, max, remaining to guard their turf.
