Funny story to tell you all.
About 20' from my back porch we have a beautiful tree line with an over grown field on the other side. Well we get deer, wild turkey's, o'possums raccoons and assorted birds in tree line.
Well last night I was sitting out back after dark and I hear this crunching noise in the trees and I can tell it's moving around and sounds like a large animal or maybe a person walking.
So I am getting ready to run inside just incase. We can't see in the trees when it's dark but if anything steps out we can clearly see it.
I can tell it's moving towards me and the closer it gets the bigger it sounds. So by now I'm getting ready to jump out of the chair, my heart is starting to pound. But my curiosity has gets the best of me and I sit there waiting because I've got to see what it is.
So I sit and listen. This goes on for about ten minutes then all of a sudden a raccoon comes crawling out and gives me a look that says what are you starring at. He was a good sized one too.
I love the wild life here.
Last summer I had 2 baby possums that I feed because something happened to the mother. I would throw food out at night and they would climb down the tree to eat. I never could get a picture of them. I would watch them from the kitchen window.
I just had to share my excitement.
