Wild creatures among us - raccoons up a tree

Thursday, August 20, 2015

Text and photos by Wayne Pridemore


A raccoon mother and her two babies were chased up a tree by Sunni, the Ricards' dog.
The raccoon mom was very unhappy about the situation. 


The twins were not taking any chances as they climbed into the higher branches.


The youngsters watched and listened to their mother's chatter.


When Debra Ricard came home from the library she called Sunni into the house and momma raccoon called her babies down from the heights. 


After checking the traffic on 21st NW, Mom gave the signal...


...and the family was outta there!

We've learned that if a few crows start yattering and won't stop, you might see a raccoon in the tree eating the cherries that the crows want for themselves...

Sometimes these little sweeties walk on top of fences behind the Weatherly on 175th. Great pics of them!
