Our back yard is often "Raccoon Central" a momma and 3 babies once waddled through the yard and brazenly revealed themselves as the culprits who climbed up onto the deck, on the railing, removed the lid from the bird feeder, flung it into the yard and proceeded to climb inside the feeder (the little ones fit all the way inside) and eat all of the finch food...


Also see them at night parading around the deck railing, trying to open the Weber kettle grill...cute, but destructive!

We also have squirrels who come up to the apple tree, get an apple in their mouth (which is probably about 4 times the size of a squirrel's head...and try to run back to the woods with it...usually resulting in the squirrel tripping over the apple and doing several flips over the apple before regaining control and running to the woods.

The patio window is Ritzy's "big screen TV" this time of year...so much activity!
