This fellow wasn't the least bit bothered by my presence. He was too intent on a meal.

Good shots, but you really don't want these guys around, they can be a disaster, and really tear up a dog. In a rural area - I keep the garbage in a covered can in the closed garage and take it to the dump twice a week. No problems. Even a lid and good tie down would likely work, but they are clever and "handy".

Interesting Ken - you got some good clear shots - should be helpful to identify him in a possible future line-up!

Great shots!
I love 'em. I know Quix doesn't but you can send them to my place--they can run off the neighbor's cats that keep eating "my" birds.

Friend in a suburban area had the same issue - bought cayenne pepper in bulk and ringed the feeders. Doesn't really harm them, but pretty quick, based on cats grooming habits, no cats at the feeders.

Nice captures Ken - I spray fox urine on plants and shrubs that rabbits and deer eat. You might try something like that - I get it at Home Depot.

Always keep in mind:
When any typically nocturnal species is observed fearlessly abroad in daylight, that is abnormal behavior and is a common result of rabies virus infection! The great majority of wildlife infected with and capable of transmitting rabies with a bite or “nip” do NOT ACT “RABID” - THEY ACT UNUSUALLY FEARLESS AND TAME!!!!
