I do think that the Police probably don't have much else going on in this area...<BR/><BR/>gail - Looks like others ID'd it as raccoon! Drats.<BR/><BR/>alan - That's what I was afraid of. I know turkey, but this one was different. I was just hoping it wasn't raccoon. Drats.<BR/><BR/>natalie - Yep, it's raccoon. I found footprints in the bark on the other side leading to the fence where they climbed over.<BR/><BR/>amorris - I half thought about setting up the video camera, but that would be too much work for 6 fava beans.<BR/><BR/>notsocrafty - Amazingly, we don't have squirrels in this neighborhood. Not enough oaks I guess.<BR/><BR/>hippie girl - Thanks for the ID. I was hoping it wasn't raccoon. Drats. We have large plastic cans with heavy lids. I doubt it will be a problem, thankfully. Plus all they'd get it cat/dog poop anyway! hahahaha. And our compost bin has a locking lid too.<BR/><BR/>karen - we have some leftover screen from when we built dryers for the tomatoes this summer. I think I will try that over the pots and locate them up on a table near the house. Hopefully that will dissuade them from eating 'em.<BR/><BR/>nawlins dawlin - It's raccoon poop. Come to think of it, I tend to post about poop here quite a bit!

Squirrels dug up my salad green seeds and now it's probably too cold to re-plant them. Ugh, critters! Maybe chicken wire over the pots next time??Karenhttp://greenwalks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632242011487983205.post-17408787566496440702008-10-28T15:52:31.738-07:002008-10-28T15:52:31.738-07:00That is raccoon poop! I've seen it a million times around our place. They are destructive critters! Keep the lids on your trash strapped down tight or they'll be into that next.Hippie Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11792214811022913094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632242011487983205.post-55587512706807083142008-10-28T15:38:11.966-07:002008-10-28T15:38:11.966-07:00Last spring I experienced a similar phenomena on a smaller scale but I think it was squirrels.

That's just crappy!

Should smell pretty foul too. Turkey should have a more bird like quality, a bit wetter, less defined.Alanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08442419546836689939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632242011487983205.post-42601809735395169932008-10-28T05:02:21.311-07:002008-10-28T05:02:21.311-07:00I know there are scat experts but not me!
