| The first time I saw the raccoon was in the Screech Owl box |
 | |
| I noted she has a couple of notches in her ear |
 |
| I fed her dog food and cracked corn and sunflower seed without the hulls |
 |
| She had four babies and when she weaned them they went over the fence and out of our lives |
The raccoon family stayed here under my shop until the babies were weaned and then the mother coaxed them to go up and over the board fence. Once they did that, they never came back; and I found myself wondering if they were all OK. I sure hoped so because they were the sweetest family of wildlife we have ever had in our backyard.

What a cute family, Abe. You have been a very lucky man to have them in your backyard.
A year and for three days we had a coypu in ours. He was eating grass. (There is a little brook between our backyard and the poplartree field of our neighbor').
Thanks for the visit and the comment, Claude.
how interesting that she explored the owl box, i suppose it would make a wonderful nesting box.
I wondered if they might stay forever with you, good food and all. but mamma knows best, time to get out into the world. thanks for sharing your wonderful photos.
