Bandits In the Bush

Raccoons, Racoon, Pair, Twins

This pair of very young Raccoons were attentive while trying to blend into the scenery. They were photographed under a bunch of day lilies on the front lawn of our rural Kewaunee, Wisconsin home.

We came home from work one evening to find three of these little rascals roaming around our yard.  We never spotted an adult.  A couple of evenings later we saw four of them in at late dusk. (At least we think we did.) Still, never saw an adult.

The little ones could be seen at various times and places, with their noses planted in the grass – foraging for bugs and grubs, I imagine. After a few days we only saw two.  After a few more days, we only saw one. The one stayed around for about a week.

I’m hoping they moseyed through the farm field that surrounds our house to the woods beyond. I don’t believe we have enough variety in our short grass to satisfy the appetites of a growing tribe.

I’m thankful for the short visit because they were so over-the-top cute, way fun to watch and, of course, I was able to get a number of fun photos. Watch for a couple more to show up in the near future.

Baby Bandit Alert

Raccoon, Baby, Young

The epitome of “bright eyed and bushy tailed,” this very young raccoon was discovering a new world.  I found this one – with three other siblings – exploring our yard this spring. We never saw any sign of their mama.

Bluebird Family Brunch

Eastern, Bluebirds, Eastern Bluebird, Eastern Bluebirds, Five, Birds, Juvenile
This is a family of eastern bluebirds. The gal standing tall in the back (on the left) is the mother. The rest are her offspring from 2014 hatch. They’ve come together to share a mid-morning brunch of mealworms in our backyard.

This female brought two broods into the world this season.

Baby Steps

Ground Squirrel, Baby, Standing, Grass, Young, Juvenile
On its first day exploring the world above ground, this juvenile ground squirrel stands tall on its hind legs to get the best view possible.

We’ve been watching a pair of ground squirrels scurrying around our yard since last fall. I suspected they might be up to something.

Bluebirds – Father & Sons


Eastern Bluebirds, Bluebird, Bluebirds, Family,
Let me introduce you to our neighbors – the Eastern Bluebird family.  This is a father and two of his offspring. There are four of these youngsters hanging around, having hatched this spring.

It’s hard to get the whole group together for a family portrait – though I’m working on it.  The mom is busy sitting on another clutch of eggs.  She does emerge to eat, now and then.  I just have to convince them all to eat at the same time.

I’ve been supplementing their normal diet with meal worms…placing them on this tree stump in our yard. I’ll be posting more of the family in the near future. Stay tuned.

Father Son Brunch

This is a father and son pair of Eastern Bluebirds. The son hatched this spring. The father seems to be eyeing the son’s table manners as he downs another mealworm.

We’ve been providing a small amount of mealworms for the bluebirds every morning. Every morning, I wake up the loud singing of male bluebird.

Trouble Times Three

Here’s a gang of tough looking hombres if I ever saw one.  These young roughians from the neighborhood (Eastern Bluebirds hatched this spring) seem to be displaying a bit of youthful defiance.

Because this photo was taken on a cloudy day, from a distance, it lacks the technical photographic quality I prefer.  However, catching the three of them together…with that look…makes this an image worth posting.
