Thanks Janet
Very nice house and great decorations.

I was looking at some old pictures.
At the end of June I visit the nest of Maxi, there was no action so I went to an other Stork nest. Some of you know it from the webcam. There was a webcam there for one year.
I had no idea what to expect, was there a nest? where there Storks? Did they have eggs this year? etc
I made some pictures and put them in an album, here it is:

So I was looking out my door checking on the Porch Cats and caught the "Cat Food Thief" red handed.

The pics were taken through 2 doors, so not very clear but the culprit is obvious. He has the cutest face.

Oooo great pictures!!!
Is it a raccoon? Now you have porch raccoons!!
Maybe she will have babies too
