Hate to meet the bird responsible for this.
Huh?!

Give a guess what this medical tool is before looking below for the answer.
Margaret had to have some tests done and the hospital had a medical museum in the lobby. Some really interesting doodads and gadgets from eons ago. It's a wonder anyone ever got well in the early 1900's.
And babies make four...or five.

Guess the raccoon that has been living in my chimney was a girl. My neighbour called me to inform me that I had raccoon babies coming out of my chimney. He saw four, but I only spotted these two and a third atop the chimney who hadn't decided about the climb down.
The window from where I took the other shots of mom resting before climbing into the chimney is just to the right of the shot. Now I know why she rested in this spot for close to an hour every morning. A night of hunting for food followed by a day of feeding little ones must be exhausting. She probably just wanted an hour to herself.
All taken from the ground and cropped. 9:30 pm so very little light left. These night creatures are really starting to bug me. I've already given up trying to shoot one of the dozens of wild rabbits I see in the area and last week I spotted our local fox on the street, but as soon as I turned my car towards him to light him up with the headlights he took off...Groan.
Ever get the feeling that you are being watched?

The young ones have ventured outside the chimney finally, but still aren't quite sure-footed yet. This one was gamely trying to navigate its way down when s/he spotted me watching. Wish I could remember that my camera has video at times like this.
Having a snack.
'Egads!...Humans!'

The little critter was a tad surprised to find me watching, but stuck around a long time before heading down my chimney to sleep the day away.
'I luv you mommy!'
Heading home...

...to my chimney!
Taken from my balcony indoors, so unfortunately these are heavily cropped. Some cool uncropped ones to come.
