Raiders!

So for the past week or so, I've been victimized nightly by critters that have invaded my back porch through a missing window pane and shredded two bags of bird seed that was on the porch. One neighbor thought that it was possums, since she's seen them around a few nights. The other neighbor was sure that it was a raccoon.
Well the mystery was solved the other night when I heard noises and went to investigate. Was it a raccoon, or was it a possum on the porch eating the food?

It was...



One of EACH! Talk about your tag team...




One raccoon and one possum, sharing the bag of bird food on my back enclosed porch.

And Lagniappe was not amused.








Speaking of raccoons, here's a neat Washington Post article about raccoons in Germany, which were rather stupidly imported and released by the Nazis in the 1930's to the detriment of Germans and much of Europe today.
