I have three bird baths in my front yard, of varying heights and sizes (in an attempt to appeal to the most discerning of avians). The one on the ground has required extra cleaning lately due to a suspicious amount of dirt in there.

I placed the blame on the raccoon that I know frequents my front yard. So I wasn’t initially surprised when I viewed the footage from my camera and saw the masked bandit scamper by. I was however, surprised by what followed: 4 youngsters!

No wonder it’s such a mess when they leave. Truthfully, I don’t mind at all, I’m just glad that they feel at home in my front yard. 🦝
