Which is one reason I enclosed my pond! Had one mother raccoon and
her 5 babies all over my yard this year! They trashed my grapes; but
did not get to the pond! And people feed them which makes them think
that people equal food! A raccoon can be a very dangerous animal!

So far the motion sprinklers have worked, while other ponds around have
been hit so far so good. Course they're screened in once winter comes. Too
cold to have exposed water filled pipes. ~ jan
