Description
I went out to take a photo of a Hummingbird on these flowers, and I see the flowers moving. I didn't expect to see this little new born baby Raccoon in there! He and his baby brother are hiding in there! Now these are different babies than I have seen! They are all alone, no Mother around! Yikes.. They were eating the flowers.. I hope the deer didn't teach them this!!
Here are some of those "Pesky" facts about this cute masked bandit...
Bandit-masked raccoons are a familiar sight just about everywhere, because they will eat just about anything. These ubiquitous mammals are found in forests, marshes, prairies, and even in cities. They are adaptable and use their dexterous front paws and long fingers to find and feast on a wide variety of fare. In the natural world, raccoons snare a lot of their meals in the water. These nocturnal foragers use lightning-quick paws to grab crayfish, frogs, and other aquatic creatures. On land, they pluck mice and insects from their hiding places and raid nests for tasty eggs. Raccoons also eat fruit and plants—including those grown in human gardens and farms. They will even open garbage cans to dine on the contents. These ring-tailed animals are equally opportunistic when it comes to choosing a denning site. They may inhabit a tree hole, fallen log, or a house's attic. Females have one to seven cubs in early summer. The young raccoons often spend the first two months or so of their lives high in a tree hole. Later, mother and children move to the ground when the cubs begin to explore on their own.
Raccoons in the northern parts of their range gorge themselves in spring and summer to store up body fat. They then spend much of the winter asleep in a den. There are six other species of raccoons, in addition to the familiar northern (North American) raccoon. Most other species live on tropical islands.

OK Kym, I see your crew is at it again. Just had an idea, don't know for sure how many of these critters you have nearby, but there are 52 cards in a deck and I'm sure you have at least that many images and there are companies that will put the two together for you. Gopherit! v
