Field Notes

Description:

I've seen this raccoon at the same jetties on the beach in the panhandle of Florida 3 separate times in the past several years. He is missing his right hand, but I think he uses the handicap to his advantage. Everyone that walks by him and has food ends up sharing some with him!

Lovely series of pictures and good story. When we were young, we children raised a coon for 9 months and then he naturally returned to the wild.

We have always had a family of Raccoon in a large Cedar tree on our property, but this past year they all seem to have disappeared along with all of the others in our neighborhood. We miss the little bandits!
