This little raccoon has me well trained - waits for me to bring out food and rewards me by standing close. Then the family of four cubs came out and visited the seed tray in the early evening. Finally, we had a morning visit from a deer.

Raccoon behavior and Pileated Woodpeckers
This is a great example of raccoon submissive behavior. The female lies on her back, then slowly and backwards, approaches the food trays. Then they both eat. The male at the food trays is the one that has me trained to put food out during the day.

Raccoon families, the fox, a red squirrel and fireworks.....
Raccoon families - 2 cubs, another 2 cubs and then 4 cubs - at least 8 during the night. The fox paid a quick visit. For those who like the squirrels that we have around - we now have red squirrels as well as grey. Finally, as it was the 4th - with fireworks, that the raccoons really didn't like!!!!
