Say Hello to my little friend in the attic!

[Whispering Winds]

Here is one of them. I can't figure out what is going on, because when he ran away from me he got into a terrible fracas with something on the other side of the attic that I can't see into . . .and I know there were babies because I heard them squawling the other night when there was anothe fight going on. You have to admit, they are cute. Hate em', but they are cute.

UMM! Fun!

It may not be a fight. They can sound like heckcats when they are just talking to one another. I can remember camping in a trailer several years ago. In the middle of the night sounded like Grizzly and Sasquatch were battling to the death under the trailer. I got brave went outside to check and found about a dozen raccoons under the trailer. I gave them lots of food so they'd be quiet.

I should have listened to myself when I was going to get the live trap and get her/him/them out of there before the babies came. Of course, I dragged my feet, and now I have a blasted colony of them. . .will have to wait until they get the babies out of there,because they are in the new part we build on and while you can access it, no way am I going to try that small door area with a mad coon in my face. This one in the picture looked at me for quite awhile before he stepped towards me, (I shut the door, no problem!!!!) and then peeked in there again, and he was leaving. Maybe the wife was coming to look for him and he was telling her to get your @#%$#& butt back in there before she uses that big flashy thing on you too!!!

I have walked around our house three times looking for tracks or signs of where they are coming in at, and with snow on the ground all I see if dog tracks and people tracks. . .it has me completely baffled. If it wasn't so cold out, I would get the night binoculors out and stand post and see if I could catch them. Our roof, soffit and guttering, all that stuff is 7 years old . . .but the guy who did the work was an idiot, so I guess he left a crack somewhere.

Somethin's in my attic all of a sudden like. Also my gutter fell off this morning in the wind!

.

Me thinks it's time to drag the ladder out and have a look while I'm putting the gutter back up. Heck maybe I'll 86 the gutter except for over the porch. Less climbing involved that way...

When we first moved in there was a bird infestation in the attic and you talk about some NOISE!!! But we replaced all the busted sofit screens with hardware cloth and that did the birds in. Something must have created a new hole since then, because we patched everyhing up when we did the sofit.
