An Unwanted Nighttime Visitor, a Raccoon..

It was around 10 p.m. one evening last week and my husband grabbed my camera which was nearby, and he took pictures out  of our window in the evening darkness when he heard sounds outside in Bird Alley..

With the help of a good photo editing site I was able to lighten them all somewhat. What he had heard outside the window was a hungry Raccoon in Bird Alley.

  It has reached the bird feeder by standing on one of our pergola railings.

It was helping itself to the finch seed in one of our feeders.

 

All finished with that feeder for now.

 

Back on the ground, looking around.

It found a few seeds which had dropped onto the grass.

It had such a beautiful tail!

My husband had opened our back porch door and yelled at it and it had ran to the bower at the back of our backyard.  Bye, bye Raccoon. What a nuisance you are! And don't come back!

Thanks for the great pictures DAVID!
