What’s going on? The first week in February I saw an animal smaller than a cat, feasting on the broad edge of a planter in front of a public building. I have never seen a wild rat, but I think it was one. It walked carefully into the twigs of a low hedge when other people approached. The second week in February two raccoons trundled through my backyard on their way to the front yard. What safety would sidewalks and streets provide in the daytime? Today, February 28, I watched a huge raccoon squeeze under the gate and zig-zag into the back yard. Are these creatures too hungry?
