Bandit!

And all this time we thought the squirrels were eating all the peanuts. Last night, the lid of the Squirrel Lunch Box on the tree was banging continuously... we turned on the light, as most squirrels are tucked in their nests after dark. Sitting on the feeder was a raccoon. Young, I think, as it wasn't as fat as most. But nothing, not even the light or our comments aimed at him would deter him from the peanuts. He scooped every last peanut, and this morning the squirrels were bummed out. Guess we'll have to change the name of the feeder...
