Thank you. We got some nice still shots of them climbing trees. I'll try to post a few of those tomorrow. |

That was an excellent video! I have been getting the raccoons every night, but I've only seen one once in the daytime. They come around after dark, and stay several hours. They sometimes stay all night, and run off shortly before dawn. Steve Warning, addicted to SETI crunching! Crunching as a member of GPU Users Group. GPUUG Website |

Thanks for the video Ang and Eric! Cute little guys. Apparently those 2 may become quite comfortable around you guys. #resist |

Angela That was a very good video of the 2 babies, which shows the wild living well in a town environment. Congratulate Eric, please. My bunch of 5 furballs have come up to my office with me and a re all quiet now. But, William and Bobby were scrapping a short while ago, not that it changes anything for them. It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues |

Hehe, the Korpelas almost do you know :-)) It's also the grin of sheer delight on Ang's face that I like as well, as cute as the babies !! Thank you, my friend. I really do enjoy being a great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandmother! Also, I've been working hard to acclimate the babies to our presence and clearly it is working. This video was taken in the evening, but it was still light out as you can see. Our raccoons are most likely to romp around at night, but we do sometimes also see them in the early morning and in early evening. |

Now that piccy is worth a much wider circulation than just here. There are websites that specialise in Raccoon photos. I agree 100%. It's a superb picture and looks professional. It definitely deserves as wide an audience as possible... Not to mention that's a cute little critter. #resist |

LOL! Thank you for all the lovely compliments. Eric did some file recovery work for a law firm a few years ago and the over-paid attorneys were so grateful that they rewarded Eric handsomely. With some of these generous funds, Eric bought himself a really, really, really good camera. I find that if I take a lot of random shots with Eric's camera, eventually I get lucky and end up with a good picture. That is what happened with Marcel in the plum tree. I do like the picture, but it was just a lucky shot. |
