This little Eastern Spotted Skunk walked onto our porch and hung out with us for about 15 minutes. Didn't know they were a thing! Here is a 15-minute YouTube video: https://youtu.be/1Jd5Ob9xnOQ
I saw him again today (3 days after the above video), about 3.5 miles away on our mountain road.

Fell into a live pitfall trap, then fell in again a few days later (at least I assume it was the same individual) Took some more pics the second time around

I think the sound recordings go with this bird. If I'm wrong, let me know and I'll split them off into their own observation.

? These are stills taken from video. See https://instagram.com/p/BjtKzHfhijs/ It appears that one female wasp with a long ovipositor was being swarmed by many smaller males... Not sure what these are. They were in the woods on a log. @colinpurrington Sorry the quality isn't the best.
