I found a dead raven in the yard. Are we supposed to notify anyone in case they want to test it as to why it died, or do I just throw it out? I'll call the city I guess tomorrow and see if they can advise if they want to see it or not. Anyone have this happen this year?

Picks up deceased animals

Ravens can carry the bird flu as well as west nile virus. I would alert the authorities to see if they might test it

I have a small skunk living under my shed...who do I call about that...  
but why would he move...apples each day from my tree...warm place to sleep...water in my birdbath...but he digs holes in my lawn...thats why I thought someone was around...  
Thanks...lets hope she didnt have babies under that shed...not my shed for long...sold my house...

Again animal control...

Animal control picked it up this morning for anyone with the same situation.

Thanks Funnygirl for letting us know that they will pick it up.  
 
Laura, last time I checked (this was as of last year) Animal Control won't trap wild animals anymore. We had problems with a woodchuck and we had to do it ourselves.  
 
With a skunk, you can either do it yourself or call an exterminator. If I were buying your house, I'd be pretty mad that it came with a skunk without it being disclosed to me first.
