Reply #19: Florida does have good things. [View All]

We live near downtown, not rural, but we have raccoons, possums, walking the neighborhood at night. I will hear a bump late at night just outside the door. A raccoon family is checking to see if the garbage can lid is tight. If it is, they walk away.

The possums are worse, as they will freeze when we turn the patio light on.....and they hiss. They will NOT back off.

We live fairly near a lake famous for its bird life. There are white ibises in our yard a lot catching bugs. They are very tall and just hop over the fence. They act like we are not here.

There is another one that looks like it, but much smaller, like a miniature white ibis. I don't know the name for that one.
