    That is one visitor I do not miss in my garden since we moved. We used to have feeders missing all the time when they were around. They are bandits. Cute pictures... I had to put all my feeders in at night to get rid of them but I see you have them during the day.

    Great photos.
    Raccoons and squirrels - cute until you have to deal with the damage they do.

    They are cute to watch, but just wait till the suirrels chew your power lines (twice the electric company had to replace the lines!!) :scheming: And the 'bandits' chewed through the top of a heavy duty trash can lid that stored the bird food! I then got a galvanized can. That stopped the theft!!
