Shenanigans
We don’t really know what is happening in the wildlife world this week but we have received an unusual amount of calls about them. Also, these are not really calls that police tend to have a solution for. Favorites this week:

Topping off the list is the call about 2 angry birds. A lady called in reporting two “aggressive” crows were dive bombing her as she walked out her front door. She did mention that she found a baby crow on her porch and relocated it to the bushes nearby but now the two angry parents were letting her know she really went too far. A couple things here…1. Crows do not recognize our trespassing laws and have historically failed to show up in court when cited on this anyway. 2. We all know crows are very clever and can hold a grudge, so we wish her the best of luck with her future endeavors.

Next, we got a call from a gentleman that saw a deer in his backyard. It walked on through, hopped the fence and continued on to the neighbors. We were unsure if it was armed and dangerous or was selling fentanyl to the neighbors, but he thought it was “highly unusual” to see a deer mid-day. We explained these “sightings” are common and we did not have any stag suspects on our wanted list at this time. We also advised him not to go to North Albany because it is like a deer convention out there.

We received a call from a concerned citizen who has a pond in her backyard and has recently spotted a raccoon hanging out near it. She wanted to let us know in case “raccoons were illegal in the city limits”. She didn’t want any part of the crime life. While we do not recommend feeding them or giving them hugs, they are not outlaws and raccoons have rights! They hold up little signs that say that when they all get together. Besides, they have the same lawyers as the crows and have let us know they will not conform.

Lastly, we received a report that a lady saw a coyote. It was not committing felonies at this time, but obviously he looked like a hoodlum. Was he really just out for a jog or was the little bandit up to no good? I guess we will never know because the ruffian was long gone.

As the human population grows, people and wildlife find themselves living in the same area. It can be startling but not really a reason to call us unless the animal is stealing your car or distributing illegal drugs in a school zone.
Here are some tips from ODFW: Never feed wildlife. Feed your pets indoors. Secure your garbage. ODFW: 503-947-6000 Chintimini Wildlife Center 541-745-5324
