Not many humming birds this Summer - but some are now stopping by as they migrate back south.

The cubs are growing up.

It been a little while since I sent something out - each night  there are the regular raccoon family visits and the occasional possum.   The cubs are getting bigger - almost matching the parents....

Possum and Raccoon - sort of sharing.....

A while since a possum and raccoon shared.  The possums seem to stay away when the crowd of raccoon cubs are around.  This one wasn't too happy - but dealt with it!!!! Don't know what spooked it at the end.

Texas Toast - A real favorite.....

Raccoons (and possums) just love City BBQ Texas Toast.  When we put some out - it is taken in no time....  (Not sure City BBQ would this recommendation in their adverts - but .......)

A group of raccoon is formally known as a 'gaze,' or a 'nursery.'

A group of raccoon is formally known as a 'gaze,' or a 'nursery.'  Which is very apt when looking a the number of cubs that feeding in the backyard.  The cubs are getting as big as the adults.

Little Possum.....

Not seen the possums much - the food trays are too busy with the raccoon families - but this tiny one stopped by last night.  You can see how small it is - comparing with the food bowls.

Coyote visits.....

A coyote visited last night - and quickly passed by.  I have video from Saturday night, when the coyote visited and caught a raccoon cub!!  I've not posted that video.  I know it happens all the time - but its a little intense when it happens in your own back-yard!!!!
