Raccoons in a Tree Hole

A lot of different animals can live in tree holes. Owls, wood ducks, opossums, and squirrels are some that do. I passed by this tree and saw a fuzzy ear sticking out one day. I decided to go back and it turned out to be a home for a raccoon family.

Raccoons in a Tree Hole- You can see part of the ear of another raccoon on the left side of the hole.

This was near sunset after a rainstorm with thunder and lighting. The light was not that great.

Raccoons in a Tree Hole- He was interested in me.

I am assuming I could be seeing the babies. People think raccoons only raid your garbage. They look cute, but they prey upon other animals like barred owls and screech owls and their young, or steal their eggs. They will go after mice and rabbits as well.

Raccoons in a Tree Hole- Someone else in the family wanted a peek.

Have a great weekend! Here’s hoping you will get some good weather out of it.
