I started the "Wildlife" category as a bit of a lark, but now I find plenty of material to keep it fresh.  I woke up yesterday morning to discover this sight on my front porch.

Pumpkin eaten

What animal do you think did this?  Squirrel?  Raccoon?  One of those big black birds that are everywhere?  In twenty-plus Halloweens I have never had this happen before.  Don't forget tonight is the B'game Halloween pub crawl.  No dancing on the bar!

    4 to 1 it was a raccoon.

    I think a squirrel is more likely. The raccoons are more destructive and would rip the pumpkin apart with their claws. I don’t think they are into seeds either.
