back yard wildlife


Image 1: we sure know how to have fun.  That figure in the background is Alice, accompanying me on a tour of the (empty) rat traps in the crawl spaces under our house - maybe all the rat man's blocking up of dubious holes has works (this was shortly before the drain guy arrived to clear a blocked drain - no rodents to blame).  On the other hand ... Image 2: our own personal rat catcher.  Here's a bobcat walking up the steps outside my study window this evening!  Alas - the wire mesh on the window stops this being a clear shot ... she was on the point of leaping up the ivy covered bank; patrolled the top of the yard a couple of times, and was last seen heading back into Griffith Park.  She's very welcome to every single rat and rock squirrel that she can find out there.   I was so happy - the first bobcat I've seen in our yard for an age.
