Bird Feeder Raid

Neighbor Doug stopped in.  He'd been haying all morning and I think was happy for the break.  He said his garbage bin had been turned over and garbage bags dragged down the road last night.  Some seed bags had been opened also.  His thought was coon.  Probably right though dragging a garbage bag any distance sounds kinda bear like.  I've been busy all day and after he'd left I sat down at the table.  That's when I noticed my suet feeder had been emptied.  The mealworm feeder was hanging by one chain.   The platform feeder was empty.   The oriole feeder's jelly cups had been cleaned out.  The tube feeder I used for seeds was on the ground along w/ it's shepherd's hook.  I was also visited by something in the night.  I texted Doug and he thought it could be a small bear (ie. not destructive enough for a big bear but more destructive than a coon.)
