Hi from this rascal raccoon we call Gilbert. He is our backyard and front yard pet, along with a skunk we call Bunk. Gibert likes to hand around to check out whatever he can get into. Like the bird feeder, the garbage and our little garden. He spends a lot of time in our trees too. Some days you can find him tucked up in the eaves of the roof near the downspout.
We know Gilbert from his other raccoon pals since he is the boldest and will risk coming onto our deck for extra treats when the others will not.
He'd make a great security guard as he always likes to keep an eye on things and likes the night shift best!
Making the local cats and water birds nervous is his specialty!
Gilbert and his band of raccoon pals prowl around at night and when you see them all together trying to catch flying insects it is a scream. It is like they are doing some kind of ballet or something. They twirl around and around trying to catch the bugs. Pretty funny.
