Adventures in camera trapping and zoology, with frequent flashbacks and blarney of questionable relevance.

Pool coon
The redhead awakened me at 5:30 yesterday to announce the visitors. There in the smoke was one big and two little raccoons peering intently into the swimming pool. (Whur's the fish?)
I set a camera last night , and shortly after sunset the redhead called from the living room saying the camera just flashed.
I switched on the outside lights, and there she was -- Ma Coon staring suspiciously at the camera across the pool. Obviously, this was her first experience with the electronic flash.
What you see above is the best I can offer -- "raccoon pondering the deep waters". I am afraid the poolside menu offers only backswimmers and soggy insects. Unfortunately, the kids were a little bashful -- no pics of them. My firefighting equipment (pump and hoses) is in the background.
(Hey! Calfire lifted the evacuation orders today, and I also finished the camera trapping manual.)
