Great Skies for Kites and Kayaks Everywhere
My Wandering Blog
Tailey is out early looking for food while her kits are still asleep in the den. I left four slices of old bread for her by the fence.
After grabbing the first slice, she takes it into the field. This requires a bit of parkour as she tries to go under the fence and over a log someone put on the other side to block the opening.
For the next slice of bread, she stays on this side of the fence.
While Tailey is outside looking for food, a baby raccoon appears briefly in the den entrance.
Tailey leaves the den.
13 minutes later, two baby raccoons are fully out of the den. Tailey stands up, possibly to look for dangers. After a third kit appears, Tailey finally grabs one and drags it back into the den.
Seconds later, three kits are outside the den and Tailey drags another back in.
35 minutes later, Tailey seems to have her house under control and slips out to find more food.
After Tailey leaves, passing between the two sheds, a baby raccoon appears in the entrance of the den.
The baby raccoon pokes its head outside of the den.
For a moment, two kits appear side by side in the den entrance.
Tailey leaves the den and stands on her hind feet, showing off her belly. It appears she may be nursing up to four baby raccoons.

Widey stops at the fence on the field side. As she rises for a better view, we see what may be a nipple, indicating Widey may be a nursing mother.
After climbing the fence, Widey stops for a drink of water. It appears she’s lost most of the fur off her tail, indicating a hard time finding food and more fights with other raccoons.
A black cat wanders close to the den, unaware of the baby raccoons inside.
The cat pauses, looking between the sheds, the runs off. The blur chasing after it is Tailey, the mother raccoon.
