Wonderful photo. We used to get a lot of skunks in that area too (toward Prescott), but they were mostly plain old striped skunk and the occasional hog-nosed skunk... and I never got a photo of a baby one! :)

Thank you all. I have a lot of wildlife that wanders thru my "yard". Skunks love me, unfortunately.
