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… Continue reading Old Bread by Daylight

Cat Jumping onto Fence
I’ve seen cats jumping off the top of the fence, but this is the first showing both in and off.
Loosing Tails
Baby raccoons are unbearably cute. Sadly, they grow up and start to fight. I’ve seen one or possibly two raccoons whom I named “Stu,” for its short stubby tail. At first I thought it must be a birth defect, but apparently they lose their tails in fights with other raccoons. In the following videos we see… Continue reading Loosing Tails
Licking Ice

We’ll call the raccoon in this video Target, because of the nicely even rings at the end of its tail, but I’m not positive this is the only raccoon with that design on its tail.

Deer at Fence
With the raccoons staying in their dens because of the snow, our next sighting is a deer on the other side of the fence.
Indecisive Cal
Cal climbs the tree from the field, then hesitates at the top of the fence. Like the raccoons, he probably wanted to use the tires leaning against the fence to help on the way down. Snow covering everything apparently made him re-think his destination. After surveying his options, Cal returns to the field.
Snow Storm – 14 December 2021
Four raccoons come up the fence from the sheds, but the lead raccoon is hesitant to descend the tree, creating a bottleneck. Fifteen minutes later, two raccoons climb the fence. It’s unclear if two raccoons circled around and climbed the fence or if there were six separate raccoons. Two raccoons cross the fence from the… Continue reading Snow Storm – 14 December 2021
Robin Hops on Camera
A robin on the fence decided the top of the camera was a better place to sit.
Widey Late Arrival
Widey crosses the fence from the field in daylight and joins maybe two raccoons under the shed. Coming from a different colony, Widey seems less concerned about traveling without the cover of darkness.
