  New Visitors to the Back Porch



The goldfinches love our new thistle seed feeders. They're not as colorful in winter.


And everybody loves sunflower seeds. My flash kept bouncing off the glass, so I had to open the porch door to take this guy's picture. He didn't care; just went right on eating.
 
Comments:
The birds look so pretty but which animal have you captured in the second picture?
 
That's a raccoon, a frequent nocturnal visitor in these parts.
 
Whoa! The raccoon seems unfazed...great shot, Steve!
