Just curious--is this the first time you have had a problem with monkeys in your yard?

Had the same problem one year here in CT. DH planted a few rows of corn in his little back yard garden, more for the girls to have the experience of growing their own food than anything else. We watched it all summer until one evening John came in and said I could plan on fresh corn for dinner the next night.
Apparently we weren't the only ones watching it. Not monkeys - not too many of those here in CT - but the racoons raided the garden that night and destroyed each one of the half dozen corn plants he'd nurtured all summer. And the little buggers didn't even eat them all - just chewed a bit and moved on to the next ear.
Respectfully,

Bobcats eat corn or soybean?? Interesting... OK, so to get this back on SXM, to be on topic, what's the most unusual animal you've seen on SXM?? Extra points for pictures! ![[Linked Image]](http://www.traveltalkonline.com/gallery/40/full/5596.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://www.traveltalkonline.com/gallery/40/full/5597.jpg) I know, iguanas and goats aren't unusual at all, but what I have at the moment.

Ain't that just like a CAT, to do whatever they can do, to make themselves comfortable!!

Ugly lookin' head on that thing!! How do you know it is an African eagle, by the way? I took several pics of an African fish eagle in Africa, and it looked very much like a US bald eagle. My really old pictures of SXM are in very poor shape.

Were they kind of stunned?? That's a pretty long drop!
