A couple of nights ago we had quite the surprise when we let our puppy, Cisco, out onto the back deck to do his business. Cisco was behaving very strangely when he first went out there into the darkness… when I turned on the light I suddenly realized what was going on… there was a raccoon feasting precariously on the sunflower seeds in one of our bird feeders. Concerned for Cisco’s safety, I quickly (and cautiously) went out to bring him inside. These photos were taken a little while later as the ‘coon was in no hurry to leave until he had his fill. Ever since that night, I have started to take the feeder indoors for the evening. If you look closely, it looks like he’s even smiling for me in that last one. ]]> http://www.jerumballphotography.com/2009/10/raccoon-in-the-bird-feeder/feed/ 0 http://www.jerumballphotography.com/2009/08/a-mink-i-think/ http://www.jerumballphotography.com/2009/08/a-mink-i-think/#comments Sun, 02 Aug 2009 03:30:55 +0000 John http://www.jerumballphotography.com/?p=614 NOTE: the images in this feed have been downsized or removed for copyright reasons.

Today my wife spotted this little guy in our back yard. I couldn’t resist snagging a few photos of this little guy. I have never seen one of these before, but I believe it to be a Mustela Vison… a Mink. Are they common in Sudbury? Feel free to comment if you know.

After dinner tonight I captured a few interesting images of some furry and feathered friends.  It seems to be wildlife week here in Minnow Lake this week!  Enjoy!
