FW vs. RVA: Wildlife. Take III

The wildlife Armageddon continues here in FW. It seems like every evening the news has a story about yet another animal that's causing trouble in the neighborhood. First, we have the wild pigs I've been telling you about. Last week, Tim and Nigel were out walking when an animal control officer stopped them and asked if they'd seen a wild pig in the neighborhood. They hadn't, but our eyes are open.

Then we have the Grackles. We have this news story and this article, among others, talking about hawks hired to take out the Grackles. As someone who hates birds, this is my worst nightmare. They are loud, they rest in very large groups and there's poop everywhere.

But this week I also saw this piece on an increase in coyotes nearby and read this piece on destructive beavers. It's wildlife Armageddon, I tell ya!
