I just know here in GA. IF you see raccoons and opossums out during the day light you have to call DNR immediately and try and watch the animal till they get out here and if they can not make it you call animal control. But if you are like one of the neighbors here in the neighborhood, just shoot them on sight.
Elaine, beautiful bird pictures. I love woodpeckers, which we have a pair here. Also like the little flickers.
