Yes, I was there at day break. I was so surprised to see the raccoons. I hope nothing was wrong. Oh, now I'm worried! I take this walk a lot so I'll check the same spot tomorrow. It was right by a stream, so I assumed they were getting a drink before heading to bed. But I don't really know much about raccoons at all. These guys were so cute. I couldn't believe the variety I was seeing that morning (I saw cardinals, chickadees, and red-bellied woodpeckers as well and lots of squirrels, of course). The pigeons and house sparrows were hanging out at the edges of the park where people were putting out seeds for them. Taking walks in the park in the early morning is a new thing for me, so all this animal activity in CP is so fascinating.

How did you find the racoon? In Hastings, they only come out at twilight. Occasionally I have spotted them hanging around just after the sun rises. Is that when you took the photo - at daybreak? Racoons are my very favorite animal. -- Carolyn Summers 63 Ferndale Drive Hastings-on-Hudson, NY 10706 914-478-5712 > From: JennyNYC <[email protected]> > Reply-To: <[email protected]> > Date: Tue, 5 Jan 2010 07:49:13 -0800 (PST) > To: ENTSTrees <[email protected]> > Subject: [ENTS] Central Park Wildlife > > ENTS, > > An unbelievable morning of wildlife in the middle of NYC on a freezing > cold early morning.
