Late one night in July I heard loud squeaking and laughing and I looked out to find a mother and five baby raccoons attacking my birdfeeders. It was so dark I could barely see the raccoons so I took these photos by aiming the camera in the direction of the noise and hoping the infrared focus could see them (which it did some of the time).
