One of the things I love about where I live is the amount of available wildlife habitat. Thanks to Bear Creek that winds through my neighborhood (and the bit of work I’ve done in my front yard).

After the recent surprises left in my bird bath, I installed a motion-activated camera on my front porch. I was hoping to catch the culprits in the act (my money was on crows but I wasn’t certain).

Until a couple nights ago the videos have been pretty boring; cars coming and going, people walking their dogs down the street, and the neighborhood cats passing through.

Imagine my excitement when I spotted the curved back and black mask of a raccoon! What’s better than one raccoon? Two raccoons! Welcome to the neighborhood, guys!
