For years I used to enjoy watching the neighborhood raccoons fighting over the cats food in the back yard, but their numbers began to thin out until eventually I stopped seeing them at all. Even the old mother 'coon, who I'd seen for years, disappeared. A couple of months after I stopped seeing them I was talking to my neighbor across the street and happened to mention that I haven't seen a 'coon in a while. He replied with, "Yeah, I may have over hunted them a little."
A little! They were all gone, and he thinks that he may have over hunted them a little?! I found out that he was baiting them in his back yard, in the exact same place that he practiced with his bow to get ready for hunting season. All of the neighborhood 'coons, it turned out, were neatly packed in his freezer! The guy moves into my neighborhood and in less than a year he's killed all of the raccoons in the area. It was years before I saw one in the back yard again, and it didn't come around very often.
So when I found "Raccoon Cam" it was like going back to the good ol' days, without having to deal with the mosquitoes or the cold. I was happy to see the little trouble makers again. But eventually I went there less and less until I just forgot about it. I hadn't been there in a while, until recently I saw a couple of 'coons in the back yard and that reminded me of "Raccoon Cam". I looked it up and sure enough, it's still there! So if you like to watch raccoons, or if you're just really bored, you can waste a little time watching the 'coons on "Raccoon Cam".

Looks more like "SquirrelCam" to me, lol.
I counted at least 9 squirrels and no 'coons.

During the day the squirrels and birds run the place. The 'coons only feed at night. I guess they work the graveyard shift because most of them show up after midnight. There's also a 'possum that shows up from time to time.
The cats show up at all hours, but the 'coons don't seem to worry about them much. However the squirrels and birds tend to freak!
