Wildlife in the City

We were welcomed home by a family of raccoons in the half-dead tree that really needs to come down. Now I am glad that we didn’t have it done this spring. Where would Mama have her family?

If you walk too close to the tree, Mama turns around, lifts her tail, and flings poo.

Although most raccoons give birth to three to five young, we have only seen one little face.

Around 8:00 this evening Mama must have needed a break. She reclined on the knot for a half hour or more. I think all mothers can relate to her exhaustion.
