Weather-wise, a rather unpleasant weekend in the greater Erie area: Saturday, cold, overcast, and gloomy, Sunday, even colder, more overcast, gloomier, and on-and-off localized rain.
Sunday afternoon, spotted a Striped Skunk (Mephitis mephitis) along the road just east of the Pine Tree Trail west trailhead, Presque Isle State Park. It was rooting for food, but seemed lethargic, + a closer photo inspection appears to show an eye problem. #sick_skunk Photos taken from a safe distance from the BirdinPI.com van.
Sticking with mammals for this post, the relatively rare occurrence of a relatively calm White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus)(f) along the Gull Point outer old trail on Saturday.
Stay tuned tomorrow for more gulls! Or it could be raptors in trees!
