IMPORTANT NOTICE TO COMMUNITY

PLEASE DON'T FEED WILDLIFE AND STRAY ANIMALS


February 28, 2023

 

Dear Residents,

 

Please refrain from feeding wildlife and other stray animals in our community. Doing so enables the animals to become dependent on humans as a food source, and they will become conditioned to remaining in our community and seeking food.  

 

This creates a nuisance for homeowners.  It also results in additional costs to the community for maintenance of our common areas impacted by the behaviors of these animals, as well as costs associated with removal of wildlife and strays.

 

As an update, our geese company continues to monitor the presence of geese in our community and is taking the necessary measures to relocate the geese to another area out of Bayport Meadow Estates. However, this may take a few days up to several weeks for complete success.

 

As always, please contact our property manager, Meghan Kane, at mkane@accreditedpm.com if you observe anything unusual involving wildlife or stray animals that causes you concern. 

 

Your cooperation and understanding are appreciated and will help us contain unnecessary costs to our HOA.

  

 

Thank you,

 

HOA BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Is that raccoon rabid?

If you see a raccoon in your yard during the day, don’t panic—she is not necessarily sick or dangerous. It’s perfectly normal for raccoons to be active throughout the day. She may merely be foraging longer hours to support her young, visiting a garden while the dogs are indoors, or moving to a new location.

Key in on the behavior of the raccoon before calling for assistance. Look for:

If you see a raccoon showing these signs, call your property manager, your local animal control, or police department.
