Another Late Night Surprise (But Not a Bad One)
The other night, I was getting ready for bed when I heard squealing outside my window and our upstairs neighbor's voice. I opened my window to find our upstairs neighbor K shining a light down on two ferret-like animals in the parking lot.
"What are they?" I asked.
She said they were marders and they were fighting over territory. They were only squealing now, but apparently they can really scream and screech if they want to. She flashed her light at them, and they ran away into the darkness to settle their disagreement elsewhere.
The next morning, A and I googled marders and found out they were the German equivalent of martens. Some of the internet photos of martens were actually really adorable. I wanted to pull the marten right out of the picture and snuggle it. So I'm fine with marders living here, just as long as they don't keep me awake or come in the house.
