These raccoons were having an epic all day love making session outside my window today. They're nocturnal so I guess this is the equivalent of an all-nighter and I assume the masks are a kink ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Every 30 mins they'd venture out of the dead tree's hollow and start up again. Putting the wild in wildlife. Awww, to be young again...
Federal, state and local #health and wildlife officials said they plan to trap, test and vaccinate #raccoons in Douglas County, #Nebraska, after a stray kitten tested positive for a worrying strain of #rabies they had not seen before.
Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of moderate means and questionable taste
I've been around for a long, long year
I've seen too much and I've lost faith
Apologies to the Rolling Stones but I've updated it for the general malaise that is #GenX life in the early 21st century. General #introduction post here as I've just migrated from mastodon.social. I'm the homebody type who's very content to just curl up with a good #book. I enjoy #movies and most types of #music. Love good #food but I have a lifelong hatred of olives. I'm mostly here to meet fun, funny people and have a good time while taking the serious stuff in small doses for the preservation of whatever sanity I have left. I imagine I'll update this as more things occur to me to add. Below are some more specific interest. Glad to be here and beige bless!
Cubby and her kids are a tight-knit group. They show up in silence, they eat and frolic in the water in silence and they they melt back into the darkness in silence. No squabbling, no bullying the runt and no calling the attention of predators. What a nice little family! 😀 #backyardanimals#wildlife#nature#animals#raccoon#raccoons
This is the little guy from the family of four, now there are three. One moved in with the groundhogs😏.
He's always last, every other Raccoon was gone at first light. He Spent a late Saturday night at the Crab bar, and he's waddling in looking for a place to curl up for the day.
The groundhog trap is open, try napping in there?
Like kids at an arcade, tuned out.
That's one disorganized child.
All the other raccoons went back into the woods before daylight.
This guy needs a watch, he's always the last to leave the ocean floor. #Fishing#Raccoon#Raccoons
Returning to an old birdsite tradition: the latest visitors to our bird bath.
Here’s this morning’s Steller’s Jay. (These crested beauties are sometimes misidentified by nonbirdnerds as Blue Jays, but those have white stripes in their head and they don’t usually appear west of the Rockies.)
