I drove a short distance to the Forest Preserve
just to take in a little spring on this 70 deg day
and low and behold this little bugger comes
jumping out of a trash can.
In broad daylight!
with a snack in his chops
He wasn't liking how close I got
So hightailed it up a tree
He still didn't like me much
I think he is hissing at me!!
be careful! sometimes when nocturnal critters like raccoons are out in the daytime, it is because they have rabies! in this case, he might just be a garbage can opportunist, but...
ReplyDeleteGood to know. I will warn the forest service.
DeleteGood shots - but I sure wouldn't have stuck around to take them. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's a little scary that he was out during the day. Be careful, and i'm glad you didn't get any closer! :) Great pics. He'd be cute if he was smiling though.. :D
ReplyDeleteMeant 'cuter'...
ReplyDeleteHe sure doesn't look happy with you.
ReplyDeleteNice pictures though!!
