I think the raccoons did it.

The bird feeder, and its suction cups, are no longer on our window. I have found all the pieces, but I think the raccoons tried to climb into it.
Bob and I knew we need another type of feeder and he was up way early for him (7:00 a.m.) so we drove a little over twenty miles to a feed and farm store called Bomgaars. Bob also wanted peanuts for the crows.
He actually got out of the car and went into the store. Walked about halfway down, then saw someone with a dog to pet. It is a pet friendly store and the young pup was getting new collars, etc. Bob went back to the car, I got another feeder and a bag of peanuts. Will enjoy the birds later, and move that one feeder.
So while he enjoyed the outside a while at home, I mowed a little, until my battery died. He went back to bed.
I have iced herbal tea getting made and need to water my flowers.
See you soon.

The most amusing racoon story I have is ages ago visitng my friend in suburban Connectiut one night sitting watching TV we heard clink clink boom boom clink, Went out the back way and one racoon is thumping on the garbage pail and the other is thumping from the inside of the pail they got the lid off but in the end it sounded like a racoon band, Now if only they could sing

Sounds like something a raccoon would do. Glad Bob was able to walk around a bit.

Do all the birds recognise you and do not fly away when you are nearer to them?

The raccoons ruined our window screen trying to dig their claws into it to get into the nearby bird feeder,
