Gotcha!

About five months ago, I was at my local forest preserve just before sunset. As I was leaving, I noticed a raccoon exiting this hole in the tree. Every time I went back to this preserve, I would always check this tree for activity, with no luck. Yesterday, I was there in search of butterflies. About thirty minutes before sunset, I decided to leave, but not before checking this tree again. I set up about twenty feet away from the hole and waited. It was getting pretty dark, and I was just about ready to give up when this guy poked his head out. I got one shot before he quickly retreated. Kane County, Illinois
