Ring-tailed Bandido

A raccoon at home in Delta Ponds. "Two of the raccoon's most distinctive features are its extremely dexterous front paws and its facial mask, which are themes in the mythology of several Native American tribes. Raccoons are noted for their intelligence, with studies showing that they are able to remember the solution to tasks for up to three years." - Wikipedia

What a nice setting to catch on in! We had a two of them in our campsite last weekend. (trying to drag our garbage bag away, while we were sitting 10' away!)

super shot Vern

janescottcumming		28-Jul-2013 15:55
Wonderful how you caught him in the sunlight. I know raccoons are considered pests by many people but I have always loved their masked faces,dexterous hands and mischievous behavior.

Irene Wehrli		28-Jul-2013 15:47
Wow - terrific picture of the "Bandido" Vern - had to look twice, he is so wonderfully camouflaged... Irene

Walt		28-Jul-2013 15:40
you caught the bandito in the act! And the radial filter helps focus in on the guilty party! Well seen, excellently shot!

They're masters at getting into our trash cans for a picnic, in spite of precautions on our part. ;-)

Not only is it amazing you found a raccoon out in the daytime, but you found it in amazing light too!

Nicely done, they are hard to get in the daylight like this.

Nice shot. One of my favorite critters. They look so cuddly, but can become all teeth and claws.
