Urban Wildlife

This was on my front porch tonight:

Baby Raccoons!!!!!!

There were actually 3 and the mama.

I really don't encourage the local wildlife to hang out in my yard, but I have a person who drops off donated dog food for me to deliver to a shelter and, if I don't know it is out there, I get "visitors". Here's papa 'coon helping himself to a bag of Science Diet.

Needless to say, the donated food has to go in the trash after a raccoon's been at it. But, I decided since he was already there, I'd got some shots.

The babies have shown up a few times just hoping for left overs. The come right onto the porch even if I'm there. I won't let Thurston out in the backyard at night any more because of these guys though. They can be mean suckers - but oh so cute.

Lots more pics here.
