The raccoon was comfortable with one deer, but two was too many!!

The raccoons and the possums have a truce. Both a raccoon and a possum came out early in the evening in daylight. The two possums and two raccoons shared - and one of the possums is ENORMOUS. The deer passed through and the fox came along in the snow - but too late for food.
This fox scared off the raccoons and possums - the raccoons climb up the trees. Its then very aggressive to the possum, but finally losses when the big raccoon and the possum combine forces!!
The fox seemed to think that if it didn't look at the raccoon it wasn't there! I suspect the deer heard a dog, which is why they ran.
I think the raccoons watched my video of "possums rule" the other day, as they decided to take back control! Daylight raccoon, three raccoons face off a possum, and then a gang of four!
The nest building is going well. Yesterday the nest material was blocking the camera, but the birds seem to have decided they want to be on video!
Possums Rule! First a possum in daylight, then a possums just looks on as a fox comes in, then two possums, and finally, three!
