Thanks hammerhead,
I’ve always thought raccoons were primarily nocturnal but lately have seen a large male walking through our front yard (drinking from fountain) during the day and wondered if perhaps he was ill (looked healthy to me). We feed our dogs inside and scoop the poop religiously but have a neighbor that throws stale bread out on their back porch daily bringing in all sorts of birds and unwanted critters (raccoons, rats, squirrels …). I wish people who live in the city would become more aware that they are not just feeding the birds when they throw out crumbs or don’t clean up under their bird feeders – better to develop your yard as a wild life habitat with natural sources of food and water, put the stale bread in the yardwaste…
