Rabbit on the rampage! Likes to jump on resident’s small dog and bite it. Scratches on the man’s leg and at his patio door.  Perhaps Anger Management classes are called for!

Its spring and Canadian geese are finding the mulch areas in shopping centers to their liking. Enjoy from a distance, especially if they have young. That big proud male will protect his hen and offspring with all the vengeance of a parent. They can hurt you, so be vigilant!
