I have some woods and stream behind my property. For the past several years I have had Racoons come up and eat. Usually adult full grown. This summer for some...
Hi Brian :) This is the time of year when kits are out and about! :) I assume you're seeing some Moms somewhere near the kits as well, is that right? ...
I'm sure Mom's around but I never see her at the same time the kits are here. The other night some people whom have never seen them before walked out in the...
Brian & the Group, Some years in the past I used to have up to a dozen or so adults come in at a time to feed on my patio. Apparently they were so busy...
Hi Edmund! :) Nice to see a fellow Washington "coon feeder"! :) I'm in Carnation! Howdy, neighbor!! "My" babies are usually born in May, but are kept...
Hi Kell, Small world. One of your Fire Department officers is a friend. Say hi to Captain Needham if you see him. I've seen moms park their kits in the...
Hi, just joined this group. We've been watching and feeding the wild raccoons that visit our garden for several years now. For the past couple of years, we've...
Hi Alandra! Welcome to the group! :)  I'm Kelly (Kell) and I'm a "backyard buffet" for about 9 raccoons this year. This group includes 2 mommas and...
Hi Edmund! LOVED your stories!!  Especially about Carson! I'm so glad he found a family! Maybe his sibling did too and just never came back to your...
Hello northern neighbor, Carson was one of our greatest successes, and really we had very little to do with it. If you had asked me what the odds would be of...
Hi Kell, many thanks for the welcome. That was nice of you, and I enjoyed your post. It's great to have someplace to discuss these little critters. Did you...
Hi Alandra, Welcome aboard from a fellow newby. You referenced Costco and assorted pet foods that they carry. Having just replenished in the last day or two,...
Howdy southern neighbor! :) Hmmm... I don't think the meatballs were a hit because of possible spices, and I don't think coonies really go for beef that...
Hi Edmund, thanks also for the welcome, very nice of you, and also for all the info about the various foods and what the coonies prefer. That's very helpful...
I just looked and find that you have 13 Costco stores in B.C. They are in eight countries now. Here in the U.S. Costco carries the Atta Boy kibble. They...
Hi again, Edmund, - thanks again for the interesting info. We do have a wading pool for them, but hadn't thought about the ice cubes, but can imagine what the...
Hi Kell and Edmund, you might like to check out my photos at The Lens Flare online photo group. Will add link below my name here. Quite a few recent raccoon...
I do. Very nice even if you DID use a Canon camera :-} [Spoken as someone who chose Nikon for "miniature format work" about 35 years ago after being...
Wow! Great pictures Alandra!! I just spent tons of time looking through your gallery at various categories!! So many great shots! I do good to aim and...

Ummm...perhaps three feet. **************************************************************** Edmund Leavitt K7EFL / AFA5AH / KPS654 Lakewood, WA Ph: 253...
I thought it must be pretty close. I never get that close to mine. Mine are all shot from inside the open front window, with 100-400 IS lens, hand held. Did...
Edmund, think you said you wanted to know what price our Kirkland puppy kibble is (20 lb size) , - we got 2 sacks of it yesterday, and it cost $13.99 per...
I used two flash units for that one if I recall. I set the camera up on a tripod and trigger it remotely when the birds are in. But there were many times...
