Raccoons like the Sweet Nectar, too!
























































We were wondering already who is emptying our hummingbird feeder over night and last week we saw the culprit with our own eyes! It was near dusk and our dog saw him and chased him to this spot! Apparently he was waiting for the dark and for his dessert! The first two photos I took without flash but long exposure (or how do you explain that in English?!) For the last photo I had my camera in Automatic and it flashed....
Now we bring the feeder in every night!!
Wir wunderten uns schon die ganze Zeit wer ueber Nacht unseren Kolibri Nektar austrinkt und nun sahen wir letzte Woche den Taeter mit eigenen Augen! Es war in der Abenddaemmerung und unser Hund sah den Waschbaeren zuerst und hat ihn hierher gejagt! Scheinbar wartete er schon in der Naehe auf die Dunkelheit und auf seinen Nachtisch!!
Die ersten zwei Fotos habe ich mit langer Belichtung gemacht u bei dem letzten da stand die Kamera auf Automatik u es hat geblitzt.
Nun holen wir abends den 'Saft' immer rein!!
