Isn’t this the cutest face you’ve ever seen?!
I always keep an eye out for raccoons whenever I am walking through Central Park in New York. I have become very adept in spotting them after I learned a few simple things. They are mostly in the trees and not on the ground. I had no idea that raccoons slept in trees, so look for round bundles of fur tucked into the fork of trees where the large branches leave the trunk. The hour before sunset is when these little fuzz balls are waking up and they start moving which makes them easier to see. You will find them stretching, grooming and coming down from the trees to rummage through the parks trash cans. This little youngster was quite unsure of me and so had all of its fur on end – clearly a grumpy morning person (or evening raccoon).

I think that you captured one of the best photos of a raccoon ever. Beautiful photo of a beautiful creature. Didn’t know that they slept in trees.

Thanks Pete, I know what you mean. I watched him for a little while to figure out if he wasn’t feeling well or anything was wrong, but I think that is his normal face – the coloring of his eyebrows makes him look permanently concerned.
