I was a surprised to see this visitor eating peanuts.
Stella was in the house, barking like crazy. I would never let her out to chase this raccoon away. Instead, I videoed from inside my house.
Peanuts were not replaced in that feeder. I set a few out in a different location. I wonder how long it will take this raccoon to learn that there are no more peanuts for it to eat here.
Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

I put peanuts and sunflower seeds out daily.
Bob made these wood birdfeeders some years ago. I don’t fill them up because raccoons come and empty them at night. You can see that the door is at an odd angle. The raccoons did that.
The shelled peanuts are the favorite food of the bluejays. The cardinals (not in the video) like the sunflower seed the best.
There are other feeders around my porch so birds of all kinds can find food here.

Food is not the only thing wild birds need. Fresh water is a must, too.
During the winter, this birdbath is plugged in as is a large bowl for my barn cats.
Watching the birds is entertainment. They don’t cost as much to feed and water as the barn cats do, but if I keep the cats well fed they leave the birds alone.
Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

I stood for a long time watching as flock after flock of sandhill cranes flew into the sunset.
There were hundreds of cranes last evening, looking for the best place to spend their night.
Enjoy.
