Question of the Day: Seen a Skunk Lately?

Patch gardening blogger says that skunks are on the rise on the North Fork — have you seen one recently?

In her latest blog, author Mary Agria talks about how skunks are making a comeback on Long Island after a decline in the 1980s. She spotted a young Pépé Le Pew in her garden recently amongst the squirrels, rabbits and possums.

How about you? Have you seen (or smelled) a skunk this summer?
