Great Skies for Kites and Kayaks Everywhere

In this video, we get a good side view of Widey’s tail, which ends abruptly after a black stripe without tapering to a point.
Widey digs in a hole began earlier by another raccoon.
And here’s another video of Widey near the sheds. You can see the tail ends very flat.
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.
Stu climbs the fence from the field, followed by Widey. The stay only three minutes by the shed, the return to the field.
Stu was a nursing mother in the spring, so Widey must be one of her kits.
For the last couple nights, the first action recorded was Widey coming over the fence from the field. Tonight it was a male calico cat we’ll name Cal. Instead of climbing, he jumps, but still follows the same path the raccoons use. He even pauses at the top to try licking his hands.
In black and white, Cal looks a lot like our cat, Rosie, who was in the garage 15 minutes earlier.
Widey crosses from the field eight minutes after Cal leaves, passing a raccoon from the shed at the top of the fence.
After not finding any cat food to eat in our garage, Widey waits on the fence for ten minutes before deciding the cross into the field.
A raccoon raises its head from under the shed at 5:46 PM, then ducks back inside the den. This was the first raccoon sighting for the evening.
A raccoon with wide white bands in its tail – we’ll call it Widey – crosses the fence from the field. Widey probably comes from a den further south.
The raccoon under the shed comes out of the den, while Widey (a pair of white eyes in the top left) comes down from the fence. The first raccoon stands on its hind legs to get a better view of the neighboring yard.
Stu, a mother raccoon with a shirt Stuby tail, crosses the fence into the field. It’s likely crossed the field together and entered the yard at different points.
Widey follows Stu up the fence, but enters the neighboring yard instead of the field.
Three raccoons exited the den under the shed.
