@jakedduck1 We have lived in this town, a border town outside of Manchester, NH, for over 40 years and it's gotten much worse because the town has gotten so much more developed that there are fewer places for the animals to go. When we first moved here the population was about 5,000, now it's over 20,000. The wooded area you see in that picture is narrow, there's a street that runs parallel to ours beyond it and in the winter you can see houses beyond it. The lots here are big so our land goes back a ways, we have over 2 acres. Of course we have our own well and septic so the lots need to be big enough to allow for those.

People see all kinds of animals though. Apparently, Fisher Cats are common although I've never seen one but there's a sports team in Manchester with that name.

You would have enjoyed a chocolate filled coffee cake I made this week when my husband had some friends over.
