Raccoon

Had supper with a friend on her deck (with the appropriate distancing) this evening. Toward the end of the evening, her local raccoon came to visit. First we watching him eating birdseed that had dropped to the ground below her deck. But before the evening was over, a neighborhood dog walked along the edge of my friend's driveway and scared the raccoon up the tree just above where we were standing.

Sorry for the photo overload. It's late. I'm tired. I'll check out your photos from the past several days tomorrow, I hope.
Great shots.

I like the one where he's looking up at you. They are clever little thieves but this fellow doesn't have to work so hard to get his seeds. Nice collage!

I didn't know raccoons climbed trees! The ones here in Central Park in NYC are fat and lazy.

@pyrrhula @olivetreeann @mcmary @thewatersphotos Thank you Ferry, Ann, Mary and Gary for your comments. I saw this one again last night and a new one, which I believe was younger. They were sort of fighting (growling and posturing a bit) over the seeds. When they both climbed the tree and were getting a bit too close over my head, I exited.

I thought that seeing a racoon in daylight meant it was sick! Great capture.

@jb030958 Actually it was dusky and under big trees which shaded the yard more. My friend keeps bird feeders out there in the day and I think it came to get a snack.
