Lynne, that's a porcupine, a mammal that's similar in looks to a hedgehog but with quills that easily embed themselves in its predators'snouts/faces/mouths/feet.
Sybil, you're going to have to watch it around Tamarack trees this spring when the babies are out and about. They're a lot slower at moving to safety than the adults.
Hi Sybil,
ReplyDeleteYes I am excited! However, what IS IT in that tree?? Do I have to look out for big furry birds?? Will ring you soon!

Nope, Sybil, the dogs don't want to eat THAT! lol... We used to have a dog or two that tried it...not fun.
ReplyDeleteOh Kathy, we've already had a couple of porcupine run-ins since moving here. Not cheap.
