Wildlife Week Entry 2: Mojo Dances With....

This'll be short and sweet and devoid of many of the obvious jokes. Suffice to say, Mojo glanced out the window the other day and saw something large and suspicious lurking near her beloved vegetable garden.

I yelled at him to lay off and he looked perturbed before wandering off into the woods. I doubt these guys are the same nest, but oobla di, oobla da, life goes on...
