Together

On By CarynIn Wildlife

We have a couple of raccoon buddies hanging out in the woods. Rather than the opossums, who arrive individually and leave separately, the raccoons show up and head out together.

Size comparison

The trail cam pictures gave a good way to compare the size of the new raccoon vs a cat.

These two photos were also taken just under two hours apart, so the depth of the ice is the same.

The ice accumulation from the last storm did finally all go away. I can’t recall that I’ve ever seen it stay as long as it did in Texas. I still refuse to call it snow.

Raccoon

In the snowy landscape of the last storm, the trail cam picked up the image of a raccoon.

Raccoon spottings have been few and far between.

Happy

On By CarynIn Wildlife

So this is my happiest sight on the trail cam: a raccoon. Two years ago this would not have been unusual, but it has been a year and a half since the raccoon colony in our woods was wiped out, probably by distemper. It brightens my heart to see them on the cam again.
