So. Last night around 1am we had some new friends pay us a visit. Amy and I woke up to hear a weird scraping sound outside. Adrenaline kicks in and we are suddenly fully awake and turning the deck light on. Four raccoons are all taking turns grabbing sunflower seeds from our bird feeder which is now laying on the deck. While three of them are fighting to grab the next seeds, one is wandering around our herb gardens looking for bugs or other tasty items. Knocking on the window got their attention but only for a short time; fearing a crazier situation if I opened the door and tried to swat at them with something, I stood there watching until they lost interest and went down the steps to terrorize another neighbor.
It was a little difficult to fall asleep afterwards.
