Racoons and Geese I like from a distance, I was riding my bike with avery yesterday, and 2 geese where walking across the bike path, I waited 5 minutes to make sure they would not turn around and attach me
Opossums are nasty too...we have a possum of montrous proportions living on our hill. He is respectful of our space though...so long as we don't throw Chick-Fil-A bags in the gargage trash bag and leave the garage door open after dark :s
No coons locally that I've seen. Skunks aplenty, Hares, Groundhogs and I've seen tracks from deer about 10 minutes walk from my place, but no coons. I've seen those in downtown Montreal tho' They come down from the mountain to raid restaurant's garbage bins. Damn but those things can get BIG sometimes!
So we bought a bowl feeder for in the middle of the lawn and put peanuts in it. We also filled the empty feeders with safflower seed and the squirrels are still going to the feeders.
We did see a really cool battery powered squirrel proof rotary feeder at the nature center today but the price was...daunting. It's cheaper online but still....
Although, I bet it's a hoot to watch in action. Linkage
