Masked bandit

072407raccoon
Sylva Herald Publisher Steve Gray caught this acrobatic four-legged thief stealing seed from the bird-feeder at his house in Webster last week. “The raccoon had been coming and taking seed from the feeder for the past two weeks. I started taking it down at night, so I thought he had moved on.” Gray said the feeder is designed to be “squirrel-proof,” meaning a metal grille comes down over the seed if too much weight is put on it. “I guess he found a way around that,” Gray said. –
