I observed a large number of roadkill Striped Skunks on US 380 this weekend. This is an unfortunate, but common, occurrence at this time of the year. Mating season for the skunk is well underway, and the males often get reckless in their single-mindedness.

This Striped Skunk found his way in front of a camera trap that had been set for White-tailed Deer.
The skunk seems to be in a tizzy. He bounds into the picture, and then quickly spins around. Is he on guard and preparing to spray? Or, is he playing?
More likely, the skunk is simply investigating an interesting find. Possibly his next meal!
