This morning I looked out at the bird feeder, hoping to see a blue jay or a chickadee, and found a much bigger visitor. A big, very fat racoon had his head in the feeder, chomping happily. I am always surprised that they can eat sunflower seeds - the hulls must be pretty dry and hard to swallow, but they manage.
After getting a few shots, I opened the deck door to get a closer look. Mr. Racoon slowly gave me a look, and wandered along the top of the railing, around the corner, and down the deck steps, eventually ambling out of sight among the trees. 
He sure took his time, and not one bit scared, just slightly annoyed and resigned to the fact that he's not really welcome anywhere. But I feel lucky he put on a show for me.
