We find, as we are rural and outside a great deal, that many creatures are more up close and personal increasingly over the years. We can walk dogs, and robins will walk directly in front of us for a block or more. Snakes do not startle and slither away anymore. I step around garters on a daily basis. We have wondered about this too. We have no wildlife food shortages in our area.
