Another Visitor!

At 6 pm today, we were sitting in the library reading when we heard a thump and then a clang. I asked if perhaps the gate man had arrived to install the remaining gates. But no, it wasn't him, though we sure wished it was him! Instead, a lone javelina was on the back patio with the birdseed bin which I had left out after the last refill of the feeders. He got the lid opened, pulled out the bag of peanuts, and began biting holes in the plastic bag. I don't think he actually ate very much of the peanuts but there are about 5 holes in the bag now. I am a bit concerned about whether he is just a loner or sick. When we came back from the library a few hours earlier, I noticed some dirt on the patio next to my herb planter. I thought perhaps some bird had been in it. Now I realize that was the corner of the planter that had had the cilantro in it and that was the one plant the javelinas had eaten before. So he had probably left and come back. I guess I will take the peanut feeder inside tonight.
