I used to have a small pond with a few fish. The raccoons put an end to that. Raccoons make some weird noises. I couldn't figure what it was for a few days. I thought there was a second Martian landing. My father was around for the first one.

We still have problems with squirrels because of our ducks. Actually we had five at the beginning of the summer and now we only have two left; raccoons have killed three before we found out how they got into their cage at night. We have always protected out ducks from nocturnal visitors; but we overlooked one opening.
The ducks need duck food and squirrels will always get in to help themselves. Ducks are sloppy eaters and always knock food out of their feeders (not that it makes a difference). Once our last two ducks die; we are done with the feeding business. We will let the little tree rats find another free meal!
