Critter Twilight

Two adolescent raccoons appeared outside of our kitchen window while I was making dinner during last week's smoke-a-thon. They are the age when their mother would be teaching them to forage, but we didn't see any hint of Mom.

One of the pair dug in our yard for worms, grubs, and seeds. His sibling huddled beneath the neighbor's tree just a few feet from the property line.

You normally don't see raccoons this early in the evening. But like I said on Monday, the smoke created an extended twilight which is bringing out critters far earlier than their normal wont.
