Mystery Of The Disappearing Food SOLVED!

Via Flickr:
We knew there was probably more then one raccoon getting into the squirrel feeder every night. Now we know there are four!

Apologies for the lack of quality. Was my first time trying my new toy at night. I figured the bush was cropping in to the frame, but I was having some difficulty getting the focus locked in since it was dark out. I am definitely planning on trying some more night work again, so hopefully I learn from my (many) mistakes 😉

Had a couple of these take an interest in the new feeder. I thought they looked kind of cool with their all black body and bright yellow eyes.

Then I watched them use their beaks to throw all the food on the ground in order to get at the sun flower seeds. Then I thought they looked like they need to go! Switched over to just Safflower seed and they seem to be leaving it alone, and are back to cleaning up after the squirrels.
