The night that I watched 5 raccoons trying to all climb our platform feeder at once was the night we decided to stop refilling that buffet. Their hog-like grunting was just a bit creepy and they were coming right up by our new porch. I have previously written of our need to keep our garbage cans closed with bungee cord to keep them out. And these strategies have seemed successful.
Last Saturday morning, I sat out on the porch and watched as a single adult raccoon walked/climbed head-first down an oak, from somewhere really high up. It sat/sprawled in a fork in the tree and groomed/scratched for some time.
After a while, it went out on a limb, so to speak.
From there, it finally seemed aware of me.
Sooooo……Are you gonna to put something on that platform feeder today or what? I’m WAITING!!
He is waiting to get in to the new room. Just a neighbor spying on the new building project.
