1 Raccoons in the backyard? Right, three of them. A mother and two babies. They made their first appearance one monday morning in August when I heard a lot of commotion in the backyard. I thought a cat had finally caught a squirrel and ran outside, only to end up standing eye to eye with a raccoon. I don't know how fast I ran back into the house for my video camera, but when I came back she was gone. Then I spotted her looking at me over the fence.

I did not expect to see them again, but a week or two later the same thing happened. This time the little ones were a tad bigger and walked off on their own, behind momma's tail
