Raccoon Pole Dancer - Wildlife In The Bird Yard

Description
This is the resident raccoon who arrives every afternoon to raid the bird feeders of their seed and suet. The pole holds the wire that keeps the feeders high above the ground, but it is no deterrent for her! She climbs like an acrobat.
Somehow she understand we won't hurt her, and she retreats only four or five feet if we go out the kitchen door. We do not want her tame, but they are smart animals and can figure things out - we are friendly.
This picture was taken this afternoon, June 20, 2018, in Green Lane, Pennsylvania,USA. I used the Canon T5i and a Tamron lens - macro 90 mm - ISO 400, exposure 1/30 sec at f/9.0 - handheld.
Raccoons are easily as inventive and determined as Gray Squirrels only much bigger.

Very cute! And the title gave me a good laugh! L.F.
Carol Senske replied:
Hi, Kay. She is adorable and we love having her around. Pretty smart cookie, too. If I take the pole away, she climbs the tree the feeder cable is attached to, then she goes paw-over-paw, upside down, out to the feeder. She will not be deterred. WhenI go out and she climbs down to walk a little bit away, she'll go over to the bird bath and pretend to drink while eyeing me up.

Fantastic capture, Carol! Amazing detail and composition! Congratulations on your Wisconsin Flowers And Scenery feature! L/F

Isn't she adorable! It's hard not to make overtures toward her and make her a "friend", but this would do her no favors. We enjoy her as the wild creature she is:>)
