This is why you put up nest boxes for owls. A thriving population of Great Horned Owls (if you can get them) will keep down the squirrels *and* the skunks but not present a risk to people. (Possibly cats, but pet cats should live inside anyway. Small yappy dogs we speak not of.) -- Graydon -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
