Raccoon - Raton laveur
A few weeks ago I had a nearly unpleasant encounter with a Coyote very early on the wilder part of the Mud Lake trails, and for the first time became a bit jittery during the dawn walks. That is my excuse for nearly fainting when this character popped down from the tree, oblivious to me, and squawked in horror when it saw me. I am not sure how I recovered to grab an image, but I sat down and calmed down shortly thereafter. And I blame the Coyote.
The name Raccoon comes from the Algonquian word arakun, which means ‘scratches with its hand’. The French name refers to its alleged washing of its food, which may now be better understood solely to be a function its habits of eating things caught from the water.
And I registered and was horrified by the late summer, early fall bokeh.
