A skunk's sulfuric spray has a range of up to 10 feet, and its odor can be detected up to 1.5 miles.
How nice of it to stop eating long enough to pose for a portrait shot. I was too close to get the whole bird in the frame.

Apparently, I got too close to the delicious meal the three of them were enjoying.

This photo is from 2016. A fierce wind was blowing from the north (left) and this little skunk was digging for Pacific mole crabs at low tide. They are about the size and shape of a grape, and they burrow into the sand. Blanca used to sniff them out too and would eat them sometimes.
This was the only time I ever saw a skunk on the beach. However, in this encounter I was able to confirm with 100% certainty that the fresh tracks I see all over the beach almost daily are indeed skunk tracks! Normally they are out at night, though.
