The porcupines have found our deer feed on the porch. I was nearly scared to death a couple nights ago when I went jogging around the corner right onto them! Tonight I was a bit more cautious and neither I nor the Porcupines were startled. After I snapped a few shots they started making clicking noises and their quills spiked up, I figured it was time to leave them be. There were 4 of them.
