p.1 #1 · New backyard visitor.

I had a pair of Grey Foxes in the yard last year, an occassional Osprey visit, RTH's, Coopers Hawks, Sharpies, Possum...etc. This is a new one and who has been eating my bird seed at night.

I stopped filling the bird feeder up in the evening and started filling it up in the morning. It changed it schedule and started coming by during daylight hours.

Crafty devils and very smart.

1. It seems very comfortable eating from the feeder.

2. It hears a clicking sound but can't figure out the source so it keeps an eye out while feeding.

3. It decides enogh is enough and starts looking around for the source of the clicking.

4. Getting warmer.....

It scurried back to the woods after I waved my hand when I thought it was going to jump on the window sill.

Thanks for having a look.

Very cute Duane. We get all sorts of critters too. At one point, we had to tie the tops on the trash cans with wire - they ate through the string.

Awesome, I remember when I was in Big Bear I had one of those visit me at night in the snow. I shot him for like 2 hrs. Love the shots well done.

I have one visiting me as well Duane - -

but it's eating all the food I leave out for the feral cats - - not to my liking especially since I found it right next to the kitchen window on the table with all the bird, squirrel & cat food.

neat captures.

Thanks everyone. I know most consider these guys pests and they like to destroy everything that contains food/scraps but as of right now it's behaving. I may stop filling the feeder once it gets "comfortable" or it becomes a nuisance in the yard.

But as of right now it's too darn cute and a nice change to the usual song bird.

Very nice shots and commentary. We have suburbian 'coons that dig into garbage cans making a real mess. I would put that one in the "unwanted visitor" category

. The other visitors on your guest list are terrific!
