Another Family Moving On

Great photos Will.... and a catchy title too!  Have a great Colorado day in all you do my friend.

Hi Will - My first Lab and I once raised a litter of eight baby raccoons - their mother left them under my porch and never made it back. They were awesome fun, and one of them decided to become a permanent resident - he wasn't going anywhere as long as I was going to feed him. In spite of all the horror stories you hear, he was never a problem, but I wouldn't recommend keeping one - we were just lucky to get a good one.

We fed a litter of baby raccoons a few years ago.  We would put food on our covered front porch.  Then, I noticed one of the babies had a lame front arm and couldn't get to the food.  I must've cried for a half hour feeling so guilty.  Moved the food down the sidewalk and that little guy just munched and munched.

Neat photos. Got to keep your trash cans locked up tight, I bet.

Will~ I'm sure you were happy to see moving day come and go.  We have not seen many raccoons at our house.  Mostly deer and rabbits.

Will,  I could have sent Rocky over there.  He would have happily helped that mama round up her babies.

That's so neat, Will, that you got to see it happening and take pictures. What a great Mom.

How fun is that Will that you were able to watch the whole process.  We had a stray mama cat do that one year and she was ferocious about getting her babies out of harms way.  It was fun to watch - from a distance.

Hi Will,

Those are great pictures and just being there at the right time to catch her moving them. Thanks for sharing and have a great week.

Howdy and evening Will

Will my friend, those sure are mighty fine looking photo shoots of  Mommy Raccoon and her little ones. They sure are fun to watch!

Have a good one

Good morning, Will.  Thanks for sharing your photographs.  I guess your yard did not offer accommodations for the expanded family.

Have an outstanding week, with your camera in hand.

Cute pictures!
