SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - OH THOSE LITTLE SCALLYWAGS!

 





Camera Lady said the bang was when the Kissing Bunnies went flying off the bottom part of the bench. She saw they were missing when the scallywags were doing a twirl around the inside of the seed tray trying to find some seeds, but there was no way she was going to go outside to investigate. Happily, the Froggies3 were untouched! Well, she said the Kissing Bunnies would have to fend for themselves until daylight. Fortunately, and she thought this would be so, the bunnies were found upside down behind the big plant pot about two feet away from their original position. Those raccoons have muscles! No harm came to her bunnies, as she made sure that anything she buys now is made of metal. They can fly to the moon and they would be okay.









Camera Lady filled the seed tray this morning. Raccoons are safely asleep in their den.

  4. Never a dull moment out there. Those raccoons sure can make a mess. Perhaps some of the other visitors can teach them proper etiquette. Glad that the kissing bunnies weren't damaged.

    1. Always very active! When the hot weather arrives, there will be enough food for them around in nature and I will stop. Then the bird feeding table will be turned into a flower pot table :)

  5. Nocturnal activity is frequently noisy, but I'm glad nothing came to harm. The kissing bunnies must have been a bit shocked, though!

  6. I thought for sure the bunnies would have broken. But what I got out of that post is that you stole your neighbor's figurine! Are you holding it for ransom?

    1. I was a wee bit worried but they are made of sturdy stuff! My mantra is 'buy sturdy stuff from now on"! No, my long lens was very useful for taking a photo of Angelus, and the robin was added with thanks to Paint Shop Pro. No ransom needed, lol!

  7. I don't remember the raccoons causing all this hullabaloo on the old deck, I wonder why so much carrying on on the new deck? Raging Racoons Wreaking Havoc, who would hat thought this

    1. No, they didn't! It's because all they had was a rail and a single birdfeeder attached. They made it up there maybe two at a time but not always :) I must admit to putting more bird seed out. I watch the hierarchy of the squirrels at times, and it is really interesting.
