We still had snow in March and the feral cats and the skunks ate very good at our house. The cats knew to let the skunk do whatever it wanted to. I could walk right up to the window where the table was that the skunk was on and it wouldn't even act surprised. It got use to us - and it wanted food. The ferals are gone now and the skunks have disappeared. It's been a good six months since we've had no wildlife on the deck which I'm very grateful for.
Posting a few snow pics from March 2018 on St Patrick's day around the area. This year all snow will be melted probably by the 17th.
