Terry – I second Sally’s post. This is an excellent presentation for those of us who have only marginally adequate knowledge of the abundant wildlife we live with. Thank you.

The two situations are slightly different from each other. In either case, I would call animal control.

I found it helpful: https://www.facebook.com/arlingtonma/videos/568540324262609/ Unfortunately it's via FB, but I'll look to see if it's available in another format. The talk starts around 6 minutes in, so you'll most likely want to fast forward to that point!
