Evidently this Raccoon out-grew his bed in the hollow of a tree.

After a few shots he looked at me with blurry eyes...hit the snooze button and tucked his head under the pillow.

Wood Duck males on parade.

    That raccoon shot is amazing. He must have eaten some turkey. :)

    Glad someone noticed. It seems all the forums are slow. Is this a typical seasonal thing or is something else afoot?headscratch.gif

    My other several-times-a-day forum has been unbelievably boring and slow the past week, too. I dunno why.

    Love those wood ducks Ric. Looks like the racoon was all tuckered out after going through folks' garbage.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    That's a very mild statement concerning the raccoon...for you!

    Great find. Most raccoons I see are roadkill unfortunately. The wood ducks' images is very nice. Many things of interest such as the pond scum, felled trees, etc...
