Trash pandas

Along with all our other wild visitors we have raccoons, but since they arrive at night I’m rarely able to photograph them.

Until the other evening when a pair showed up before sunset.

They really are characters.

Such expressive faces…

And those dexterous little paws!

.

.

These little fatties shimmy right up the center pole, knock the suet cages to the ground then empty them at their leisure. Those paws can open anything.

I was hoping they’d do it while I was filming but no such luck. Seeing their big butts hanging upside down eating the orioles grape jelly is a riot.

  3. Always enjoy watching the wildlife! Our raccoons are pretty bold–they went nose-to-nose through the window with our 90 pound Dane/ lab mix. On the other hand, our 13 pound Bossy Cat chases and trees them, so maybe some of them are not so bold.

    1. It’s rare to see ours when it’s still light. They’re nocturnal critters.
      And stop fighting the squirrels. Just give them a peanut feeder and/or a corn cob feeder and embrace the backyard wildlife.
