Well, not really. Just a mangy Rocky Raccoon. First heard some Blue Jays making a whole lot of noise, so headed toward them. Not totally sure about what they were after, but I did see the raccoon way up in the top of a tree and the Blue Jays were flying around pretty close to him. Watched this one slowly crawl down the tree and it came all the way down to the ground. Once it hit the ground, off it went.
I use to think these guys were real cute until they started destroying my bird feeders - I'm now seriously considering a live trap for relocation :) This is a cute shot of him/her!
It was probably trying to raid a blue jay nest to eat the eggs. Last night around midnight I heard an animal in my back yard and looked out and saw a raccoon standing in my bird bath drinking. Kind of gave me the creeps.
