Wind.
Entertaining, but I vote for it being a windy evening?
Wind is the obvious answer.
The thing that gives it a little bit of doubt though is that any wind strong enough to move a 5Gallon bucket with that much seed in it should also blow something else in view in some way, whether it be the empty seed shells, or the foliage in the background, or even messing with the insects’ flight pattern. Then you would expect the wind to always move the bucket in the same direction, but it strongly moved it in OPPOSITE directions and that’s not as common.
The racoon was sure freaked out though.
Yeah, that’s what they want us to think.
Thinking the same thing there.
Not as consistent as I would have thought for wind but we have seen some things over the years have we not lol
Years ago I went to a VW dealer to pick up a part. I’m sitting in the parts department and see an older tall guy with white hair and wearing a red sweater and khaki pants go into the shop. Less than a minute later he is coming from a totally different direction from the other end of the building.
I’m starting to question my sanity so I asked the parts guy.
The owners were exact twins. They even dressed the same.
