Sunflower Slashers Uncovered

  We were proud of our nice stand of sunflowers at the north edge of the garden. They were all planted by our birds who dropped seeds from the feeder at the edge of the garden.


 Every day I'd take Parker out and as I'd pass the garden I'd find more sunflowers lying down, even in the yard. What was causing this wholesale destruction?

 So last evening I set one of my Wyze security cameras up on a strategically-placed ladder. I set the IR lighting to come out after dark and I set motion detection to let me know if it saw anything.
 
It did.




 Between 1 am and 2 am things got pretty active beside the sunflowers. It was raccoons, one after another.

 Technology can be very useful.
