No more DWR birdfeeder

With much sadness, Linda and I had to temporarily remove our birdfeeders. Apparently the bird who ate there told his friend about it. Well the friend told another friend and the next thing you know a racoon shows up. I have heard stories from peeps that racoons are quite dextrous and can get into lots of things (garbage cans, coolers etc).

This racoon climbs on our deck from the vertical trelles and then with it's hind legs on the deckrail it reaches for the birdfeeder and pulls it to him. This releases a bunch of seeds to the ground and he then goes eat.

I tried to take pictures of this scene but it was too dark (see sample below) . So, I re-enacted the scene with Linda's Teddybear playing the role of the bad racoon.
