Aaaand overnight, two more. Maybe the original and a friend, maybe two new ones. So, once they leave I have some work to do this evening plugging some holes.

So you're saying I need to find the Judas of the group?
Look for the one who is shaped like a weasel.
I gotta go find thirty pieces of old doughnuts.

First sort-of raccoon invasion of the spring. Caught on camera breaching a barrier, but after investigating it looks like he didn't end up on the deck.
They're just looking for love. :shifty:
My mom had these little ones take up residence in the attic.

I wonder what happened to their mom? Maybe she took off prior to the little ones being rounded up.
She was out when the guy cleared and sealed the attic so he just left them in that box in the backyard. Mom came and gathered them up within the hour and they made for the woods nearby.

My dad recently had raccoons in his attic and he directed his old boombox at their nest area and played one of my old punk mix tapes on loop until they decided to leave and not come back lmao

As a response they all became emo. I mean, they've got the eyeliner thing down.

Pics are from a trip to the Queens (NYC) Botanical Gardens. The one is of a cardinal taking a bath. The lizard is one of dozens I saw which seemed a bit odd because as a kid we did not see lizards running about, granted this is a refuge for them but they seemed out of place.

I'd never have guessed that was a cardinal. Looks like a salmon thrashing about.

That's what I thought, too.

Nice pics, bro!

Beautiful pics, I'd never heard of the Queens Botanical Gardens before. I'm with Doc, I thought for sure that was a salmon, not a cardinal.
