Rackety coon chiles

As we drove home from birding Friday, we saw something cross the road ahead. It was a mother raccoon and three babies! Mama told them to quick run up a tree while she ran away, which they did. I was driving so was on the wrong side of the car and all my pictures are taken through the dirty windshield. I couldn't even see them, so just pointed at the tree and clicked away, but you can get the idea anyway. Cute things!






We also saw on the way to Bear Island a turkey creche--there must have been 20 poults in the flock crossing the road. None of us even had our cameras out of their bags. There's a lesson there probably.
