Strikey. Yes they are raccoons. They are very mischievous and playful. Smart also. Studies have shown that once learned they can remember for three years how to manipulate and open complex latches. The mother coon, as we call them, has raised a litter every year in the second oak tree. The birds on the hay bale are buzzards. We actually call them turkey buzzards down here, though not related to a turkey. Bobcat on the truck rack, whitetail deer, bobwhite quail and dove, actual turkeys shown, wood ducks on the pond, feral hog, gray squirrels. lots of fun.
