Tired of a raccoon drinking all of the sugar water in our hummingbird feeder, I washed the feeder and put it away. The next day my husband said a hummingbird kept coming to our sitting room window, peering in like he was trying to tell us something. Boy, did I feel bad. It's the first time in my years of feeding hummers that I had a raccoon problem. My husband suggested I place the shepherd's hook in the middle of a Flower Carpet rose growing in the flower bed where I can easily see the hummers. I hung the refilled feeder on the hook and waited. Happily, the thorns on the small shrub rose deter Mr. Raccoon and our hummers are happy again. - K. V. M., USA
