And while we are on the gruesome subject Kingfishers take their fish up into a

The 'parts' was when the raccoon struck?

Oooo...I forgot about Mr. Procyon lotor. Yep, raccoons eat out, and leave a
mess behind.

Off topic, but one used to overturn my trash can almost nightly. I finally
put some strong bungee cords on the lid. Well, my wife and I saw my motion
detector light come on, and looked out the patio door. Mr. raccoon was
pulling on the lid with all his might, just as a man would grab and pull.
The lid would open a few inches, and when he tried to stick his snout in, it
would snap shut. He finally gave up and ambled away. We could almost hear
him muttering. We got a lot of giggles and grins out of that.
