A change of food for the wildlife.....

We have been putting deer food out - but only the raccoons and possums eat it!! (The deer seem to prefer the seed...)  So we have put out some cheap dog food - and the raccoon enjoyed it - but did need to chew more!!!!  No visitors in daylight....

Two raccoons in daylight - one was not happy to see me.....

These two raccoons were feeding in daylight - early evening.  The one on the left ran when it saw me - the other wasn't bothered and carried on eating.  You could almost hear it saying "What's the fuss - it's only Mike?"

An evening visit from a raccoon....

We've found in past years that, as Spring comes along, the raccoons start to appear in the evenings to get food.   Often, we have found that soon after we are seeing cubs with their mother......  Last evening was the first time this year we have seen an evening raccoon.  This was about 8:00pm.

The possum may be expecting??????

This raccoon wasn't sure about the possum and the possum wasn't sure about the raccoon - BUT if you look closely at the possum it has bulging abdomen - which may mean we have some babies on the way.
