I surprised a mommy racoon with her little ones when I returned to the yard after my evening walk. I was on her normal path by the barn, so she tried a detour through the horse pen. Here she is checking to see where I am.
SO adorable! I love the raccoons we have around here! My husband was going to throw out some shrimp that had been in the freezer too long, so I peeled them, stir fried the in a little butter and left them on a plate in the yard. In town, the only reason raccoons get into the trash is that they're hungry, and I like to help out with that now and then!
@Weezilou I have a soft spot for the mothers and young ones. We have lots of farm cats, so there is lots of cat food out for breakfast and supper. Sometimes there's even a bit left out for the racoons who come looking around midnight, though I try not to let them become reliant on daily feedings.
