We have a lot of bold raccoons as well - so one evening I set up 3 studio strobes around the bird feeders. Nikon D850 wearing a 70-200 f/2.8e FL lens. (3) Einstein strobes.

Not out my back door, but actually came inside our house!! This King Parrot is obviously very used to humans and must get fed around the area as this guy dec ided to fly into our house and sit atop my grandsons toy kitchen set. I just happened to have my Z7II + 50 f1.2S nearby and took a few shots whilst he sat there posing. In order to get him to go back outside, I put some birdseed in a wooden bowl and he gladly jumped on and I carried him and the bowl back outside!

He is now a regular visitor to our home, but we feed him outside.
