She comes every evening for a snack. Sometimes she comes while it is still light now, but not always.

After a year and a half, we have fewer problems with them than the other neighbors. As long as I bring in the suet feeders that is! :lol:

Don't walk in your back yard barefoot. Raccoons carry roundworms that will penetrate your brain. I'll have to get my handouts to get the specifics, but you can go blind if they get into your eye (through the blood stream). It is prevelent in your section of the country.

Just be carefull.

Yes I am well aware of the roundworms and the rabies too. I keep my distance or shot pics through the window.

It could be a yearling from last year, my guess is a female looking at the head size. I will try to do better to dissuade her.
