Road Kill Count

 Driving today along highway 14 for a stretch of 15 miles, I saw the following road kill:

Opossums:     0
Armadillos     0
Squirrels:       0
Rabbits:        1
Dogs:            1
Skunks        12


Not sure if it's open season on the stinky black and whites, but they far outnumber their fellow road kill species. For a five mile stretch in particular, just west of Sparta, they skunk carcasses (carcai?) were thick enough to be within sight of each other.
 A nighttime migratory massacre.
