Family of raccoons
I was just sitting in my living room and I saw the sensor light in our driveway go on. It does this from time to time and occasionally when I check I’ll see an animal but often I can’t find whatever triggered the light.
Not this time! I looked out the side window just in time to see a bushy tail pass by, so I moved to the kitchen at the back of the house and as they triggered the light in the back I was able to see two big raccoons followed by three smaller coons. The small raccoons weren’t babies, perhaps they were young adults in their first year. I’m sure it was a family though.
Luckily they were just passing through. They had walked down the driveway, and straight through the backyard. I don’t see them very often in the winter time, so it’s possible that this was one of my last sightings this year.
