Based upon the bowl of leftovers (now empty) I put out last night for
the foxes and raccoons, I'd say we have had between a 1/2" to 3/4" of
rain in the last 12 hours.

Harry,
Why you may think this qualifies as a charitable contribution, in
reality you are providing them with a very unhealthy diet, discouraging
them from eating a healthy diet, encouraging them to forage and rely on
humans for their food and teach their young not to be fearful of humans
and to visit their homes for food, instead of how to eat a balanced diet
in the wild.

This feeble attempt at charity is one of the worst things you can do for
wildlife.

Even though you know and understand why you should not feed wildlife,
you continue because you can say "see what I do to help". Reminds me of
that commercial for Shake and Bake, where the little girl is bragging
".... and I helped".
