One of my funniest events this winter was after refilling all the feeders late one afternoon, I happened to recheck the backyard that same night and found an adult raccoon standing on our deck railing attempting to pull down a suet feeder I had close to the house (on a clothes line). It didn't want to give up until I opened the door and it retreated.
I then moved the feeder out of reach.
Now only the birds can access the feeders.

i put up a wooden bird house that has two holes one on the side
fun to watch the chickadee's go in the side and pop out the front
with a sunflower seed.
i also just changed out the hard as a rock suet
with a huge chunk
of beef fat so the woody's can
fuel up
before the freezing rain arrives
