A tenant found a baby snake in a box. They were able to remove that snake, but we are now concerned there might be a nest somewhere in the building. This has happened in the past at least once before.
Hi Folks...a buck with a wounded (broken?) back right leg in the Winslow Farm area of Bloomington. He can hop with a little pressure on it. Not sure if anything can be done, just feel sorry for the fella. Thank you.
There is a dead skunk outside of Bedrak. This skunk has been wandering the area for some time.

Skunks in residential area
At about 8:45 pm my children and I were walking our dog on her leash and a coyote came towards us. I would not be as concerned except this is the third time this has happened since January. I fear this same lone coyote is unafraid of people and is crossing Walnut Street Pike to feed out of the dumpster at Walnut Springs Apartments (I believe these are the name of the set of brown and tan apartment buildings) the trash dumpster is always out of control. Beds, furniture and food refuse litters the ground and dumpster area daily. Skunk is running around as well but this coyote has me nervous. My first time seeing it I thought it was a German shepherd loose but I knew it was a coyote from its gruff and it’s tail. I saw it about 5ish one January day. Then I saw it again, same driveway, same area in early March about 7ish - that’s when I figured it’s living in the field that has an abandoned house and possibly crossing the road to eat out of the dumpster. This third time it was in the yard of the abandoned house. It walked towards us then stood still just watching us. This time my dog was unaffected and unbothered also where she wasn’t the prior times. I’m now afraid this coyote is use to humans and getting braver. It’s also April and I fear it’s obviously protecting its territory. Walnut Street Pike this year (this is my 3rd Spring here) it seems busier with more children outdoors and high pet traffic; seeing this coyote once I feel was luck, twice was a rush of fear, three times I felt I needed to send out a warning as the trees and bushes are going to fill in more making it harder to see the coyote but easier for the coyote to see us humans and our pets. When the coyote gets to going at night it’s pretty intimidating and cool at the same time - I’ve recorded it - it’s definitely some coyote howls!!!
There is a large pile of cut wood (sorry the image is upside-down) directly to the south of my property. I think there are a large number of chipmunks that are nesting in the pile and subsequently digging up my lawn and flower beds. Is there a way to get rid of the pile and stumps so that the chipmunks are not located so close to my plants and yard? Could I just list it as free firewood on Facebook Marketplace? I would appreciate any guidance that can be offered.
At 7am this morning, a racoon was eating the cat food we put out on our front porch. This has happened a couple of times in the past, but this racoon was acting different, staying in broad daylight and not running away when I yelled at it. Instead, it hissed at me.
