I have raccoons in my yard! How exciting is that? I knew I had opossums and groundhogs, and I assumed there were raccoons in the neighborhood. But I hadn't seen any until this evening. Tonight, I caught one checking me out as I put away my yard tools. He seemed just as interested in me as I was in him. Which is good for me because If I'm lucky, I'll be able to see him on a regular basis. But not as good for him, as a friendly 'coon may end up trapped or killed if the people it lives around decide it has become a nuisance. Rest assured, as far as I'm concerned he can hang out here as long as he likes!
