Last night, I saw a raccoon searching for bird seed on my front deck. The night before it was a possum. As far as I remember, those were my first sightings of each this winter. I remember seeing them a lot last year, but can't remember if that was in the winter too. Back then, I saw a whole family of raccoons and a couple of skunks.
I'm wondering if the winter was so cold that these animals went into a deeper hibernation or whether I just haven't been looking out the front doors enough until I got inspired by seeing that possum?
I know that many animals come in and out of hibernation. I'll have to check the hibernation schedules of these animals, as well as groundhogs.
