Last summer, we found one of our hummingbird feeders – one hanging from a bracket mounted on a tree trunk - on the ground several days in a row. We figured out that a raccoon was knocking it off its hanger to get at the sugar water inside. After considering alternatives, we started bringing that feeder in each evening.
This spring, we haven’t had any feeders on the ground, but, after a couple of uneventful weeks, we are now finding that same feeder still on its hanger but almost empty each morning. Don’t know if the coon got smarter or just developed a more subtle technique.
