Haven't seen many raccoons here over the last couple of years so was happy to see this guy on the far pond short. It took a bit before he got in a location where I could see him clearly. There is just something about Rory Raccoon that is fun to watch. Between raccoons and squirrels, I'm not sure which is more entertaining!

This guy was just swimming up the oxbow and didn't notice me as he came out of the water until he was right in front of me and I made a noise to make sure he knew I was there.

Who goes there?

Mom out for a walk with the young one.

Kids, always curious.

Rory Raccoon out and about.

He was so close the 200 mm lens was almost too long.

I was standing in the bird blind when I noticed movement at the water's edge.

This guy was watching me take pictures of the Green Heron.

Everything was out this evening.
