I have been taking up my bird feeders every night, including hummer feeders 
because of raccoon raids this past two weeks. I think it is the time of year 
that parent raccoons take their young to feeders and show them this feeding 
source. I have even chased young ones away in daylight. Any tips on combat 
strategies for this? Removing the food source is what works for me.
