I saw a skunk tonight in Oakland! It was crossing the curvy section of Tunnel Road, near the Claremont Hotel. It was so dang cute — about the size of a cat.

Wow! I hadn't seen the jays in so long I had all but given up hope they'd ever return to our yard. 
I guess it's time to bring out the peanuts again 
I had noticed there seemed to be more geese lately when I visited this park, and that they seemed to have settled here year-round. And that I had to watch my step more than I used to.

Howdy, Neighbor!
I’ve lived in this part of town for ten years and this is my first tanuki sighting. Probably not a good sign, I suspect it’s a result of construction encroaching on this dude’s habitat, but still neat to see.
Another One Bites the Crust
Meet London’s most successful entrepreneur. This seagull has cornered the market on prime real estate with a view. Perched on the Millennium Bridge like it owns the place, this feathered opportunist represents everything brilliant about urban wildlife adaptation. While Freddie Mercury sang about another one biting the dust, this gull’s motto is clearly “another one bites the crust”, and judging by its confident posture, business is booming.
From this vantage point, our avian overlord can survey the entire pedestrian buffet streaming across the bridge below. Dropped sandwiches, abandoned chips, and tourist snacks are all fair game in the urban food chain. Those gleaming towers in the background might house London’s financial elite, but this bird has figured out a more direct route to success: position yourself where the food comes to you.

And, this time I also have video (after I managed to squeeze it into the upload limit)!

And this is the first time I managed to, just barely, capture three of them at the same time! Even with some "aaaaaaaa".
I heard there was some kind of fox day today, and I have just the thing.

And some more shenanigans. The second fox was really curious, still cautious, but really curious, sniffing my direction a bit, definitely adorable.

Had some very good luck with the foxes again, I got so many good and funny shots :3

ALT: two monitor lizards in Bangkok. One sits on a low river wall, rule the other is in the water. They touch noses in a very cute way.
Look who moved in four houses down from my parents!

I surprised this little guy with my phone light, he didn't seem too appreciative. 
(I'm sure the food I brought made up for it somewhat)
