Raccoons

This masked bandit is often a nightly raider of our bird feeders. We know when Raccoons have visited during the night for in the morning we see the signs; the feeders have been emptied. On occasion we see a Raccoon during the daytime but usually they only visit after dark.

This little Raccoon, to the upper right, seemed to be a young one for it was quite small and visited in the daytime one day in May and stayed in our feeder area for quite a while.
