A reminder that Colorado is wild country: While we were down in the basement watching TV in Boulder the night before we left, Cyndi went out to the garage to feed Maggie the cat. When she came down she had quite a story for us. A raccoon had gotten in the garage. She chased it out herself and then it stuck its head back in the cat door wanting back in. She had to lock the cat door, trapping Maggie in for the night. We all had wondered why Maggers had been howling so loudly. We thought she was just very hungry. I think Cyndi was very brave to chase off the raccoon all by herself.
The night before, Cyndi and I were sitting on the back deck when we heard an owl hooting. Cyndi said it lived in the trees/bushes at the back of their lot between their house and Billie Blue's. According to the Daily Camera it is probably a Western Screech Owl, a small owl common in suburban neighborhoods.
