Thank you Lori, we have lots of Raccoons around here but I don't find them challenging. They will raid the bird feeders if there happens to be any seed left late in the day. This particular afternoon I was walking through the backyard when I spotted the mama and 2 youngsters as they were scavenging for seed on the ground beneath a feeder. I guess I startled them because mama raised up in that position and as soon as I snapped the picture, they quickly took off into the woods.
