Last night I was looking out of our sunroom window into the dark front yard, and noticed an animal sitting by the tree that was too big to be one of the many squirrels that hangs around, eating bird seed from the bird feeder, when suddenly some light came from the street and I was like "Wow, we have a badger or what are they called... in our yard, Joe come look!" And sure enough, there was this large sort of fat raccoon just digging away in the dirt eating bird seed and whatever else he was finding, and just staring at us. Joe took his camera outside and of course, the 'coon went up into the tree, hence this great photo. Joe has named him "Old Deuteronomy" from the T.S. Eliot book of poems of Cats. We think maybe he was the cause of some scratchin' we were hearing one late night that sounded like it was from the roof.
