Field Notes

Description:

Young raccoon, with another spotted a few minutes later. Both of classic masked and tail appearance

Habitat:

Vincent Massey Park, Ottawa, Ontario

Notes:

The one in photographs was investigating ice cubes dumped by a bbq group. Spotted another a few minutes later crawled into top of an open-top garbage can rummaging through. First was less skittish, came close on making chirping noises. Second ran away on hearing me approach to get a photo.
