Mother Kimmie Returns

This is the first raccoon to appear this year. It's an old friend, Kimmie. She is looking extremely well after a hard winter.

Kimmie

'I'm looking over a four leaf clover' - and keeping an eye on her youngsters as they eat.

Just the Local Gossip!

Kimmie (Big Momma) dropped in to tell me how her day went while the youngsters scrambled to find something to eat.

Chloe is nursing!

Yesterday turned out quite eventful. First of all, Chloe showed up at the door early in the afternoon. Eat and run - then back again several minutes later to repeat the pattern. Sure enough it seems she is now nursing a litter. Her den must be close by but I have no idea where - and I’m not going to do anything to disturb it. At one point she even came up behind Milady and waited for her to hand feed her a tea biscuit. Last week she was running away whenever Milady came within fifty feet of the retreat.
