The Raccoon diner & Playground never ceases to amaze me as the ingenious "coons" that frequent it nightly. SEE Okielegacy YouTube site
This Raccoon came back 4 May 2013, early Saturday morning, between the morning hours of 1am and 2am, MDT, attempting to jump from the ground to wooden bird feeder, but to no avail. Then he turns toward the wobbly pole with the water balloons attached just above the cone. After several look overs, he attempts to climb the pole, but backs down. He climbs the back pine tree.
Even without the balloons a few days later, the raccoons only looked at the wobbly pole, and then ran up the tree. But that could be the motion light coming on brighter than before, too. We repositioned the light to shine directly on the feeders and added an additional motion light to shine more light towards feeders - making it brighter than before.
