It is all because they are such dedicated mothers that they have become so vulnerable. We have captured over 630 raccoons. We have no pheasants or any other ground bird. All because of the introduction of raccoons of more than 30 years ago.

I am tempted to try a new color combination, something like Carrera marble might be interesting. <br />Spring has not sprung yet in our neck of the woods. My Daffodils are showing only green so far. But soon there will be Spring, joyous Spring.

First we have an early spring and now Easter is almost here.<br />I am so into the primaries and caucuses of the presidential campaign going on in the country that I do not even know what time of day it is.

I wish you could see our Raccoons. They are not pretty and they are definitely not little. They are larger than the average dog with huge claws. Not only do they wait until the eggs are getting ready to hatch (they can smell the little ones) they also eviscerate the female while she is trying to protect her nest. <br />But I do agree, when they are very small, Raccoons are very cute.

Raccoons are pretty little things but I know that they have a passion for sucking out eggs.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.com
