Anatomy of a raid, raccoon style!
1. Check to make sure there are no pesky hoomanz in the blind.
2. Find the kids a snack... 3. ...and once they're busy, park 'em somewhere nearby where you can watch 'em. "Now stay here and behave!"

4. Shinny up the pole.
5. (and this is the tricky part, so be careful!) Step onto the platform feeder.

Finally, the best step: 6. EAT!
"Mine! All mine!!!!!" "Uh-oh. I think I've been spotted!" Time to think about the last step of any raid: the escape!

7. Make a clean escape!
"C'mon, kits! Let's go! B'bye for now!"

Pretty soon they'll figure out how to tip the platform & just dump the seeds on the ground
My mum has a water dish out in her yard for the crows/little birds/squirrels and the raccoons or possibly the odd skunk coming at night have occasionally dumped the whole metal bowl upside down & right off the tree stump
