It was a possum. Not a raccoon. I ran him out of my backyard in to the woods with the garden hose on power. . He didn’t look well. I didn’t want to get near him in case he is rabid. I have not seen a raccoon in my woods for over a year now. I may stop putting bird seed out. Bluebirds are not seed eaters. The food is attracting too many wild animals. there has also been a starving cat in our woods I wish I could trap her and get her help. She may have been the one who got the baby chickadees. I have had bobcats and foxes. The county let contractors build homes in here. it was all wetlands. In order to build in here as the ground would not perc. They ran a long sewer line to connect with a main and put in grinder pumps. It's horrible what contractors get away with. Greed. Pure Greed. im glad the interest rate went up. it stopped so much reckless over building.

I did not have a raccoon/possum bale on either bird houses I had just one metal baffle on the chickadee house But I think the possum used a nearby tree to get on the house thus dropping down and avoiding the baffle. I am devastated. I’ve had these two houses up for years Even replaced the bluebird house with a new house last year. I live in the wetlands off of Highway 98 near Gulf Breeze Florida. This has never happened before in my past 8 years of living here. I may take down the houses
