This was the second night I saw this Skunk. (Sorry the pictures are so bad but they where shot through a window with only the yard lights for illumination).
The first time I saw it was the night before when I let the dog out for her nightly business before bed. I normally open the garage door and then look to the left to make sure there are no raccoons around. As I looked, the dog scooted out as I saw the skunk. The skunk looked at the dog and then at me and just walked away. Whew...
The second night I saw it, I did things a little different. I turned on the lights and then looked out the window just before letting the dog out. There it was again, cleaning up around the bird feeder. Since my camera was handy I tried for a couple of shots through the window. Cranked the camera up to ISO 3200 and used the little light that was available since I knew the flash were just white out the picture through the glass.
I wasn't about to walk outside and try for a flash picture (Mama may have raised a fool but not an idiot). Anyway, this is the best I could do.

As someone who just got done dealing with one of these fellas-you're so smart to make sure the coast is clear.
It's been over 10 days since my house got nailed by one of these....and it's not much better yet.
That sure is a big skunk Richard. Be careful!
I don't think there is anything that can strike fear into a human more than looking at or running into a skunk! Especially if you have a dog that is not on a leash. Been there!
