@chickisoup, last winter for me it was a raccoon that would climb up and eat from the hanging feeder. Beneath on the ground eating what he spilled was an opossum.

I got a squirrel buster feeder this year. It actually works! It's fun watching the squirrels try to get the seeds out of it. DH does put seeds on the deck rail when he feeds the birds, though, so they are still getting some food.

I caught another squirrel in my live trap this evening. Lucky for him, I shined my light over there after dark, or his butt would have been frozen to the cage.

Omg this was dead in my yard today. I almost had a panic attack thinking it was a duck at first.. . but couldn't figure how it would have gotten out. Got closer to see what the heck it was. . is it a seagull?? View attachment 1602917 View attachment 1602918

Could you tell how it died?

Sweet! Sexy beast

1st time I've ever heard a deer called sexy

My guess from the picture is that it's a herring gull. They're common to uncommon in your area in the winter.

That looks like it. I'm in the southwest corner of Missouri so I'm the uncommon range. . but still plausible.

No That was the strange thing Also. I didn't see any blood or anything. It was dirty like maybe the dogs rolled it around after it died? All I can guess is maybe it was just migrating and was old and tired and just died. It's been in the 20s at night lately.
