This raccoon has been stealing my suet cakes. They have been visiting at 6pm. Often as I'm having dinner it walks right in front of me. Opening my door used to scare it off, but now it just pauses for a moment. I have to actually approach it to get it to leave.
@eric I think young ones and new moms are up and about earlier. And I think they’re more active as a whole in spring. Base potential danger more on their behaviour (steadiness, etc.) and less just on the time of day.
