Tonight Shan ran in saying she saw two coons in the tree outside. Flashlights and cameras ready, we went bravely out, ducking the spiders that grace the door of our basement hideaway. Saw a pair of red eyes, a striped tail, and heard a little "mew."We hollered for our hosts, who came running out with bigger lights. Next neighbor came out and said she had seen 7 coons on the wall, with a coyote behind them.
After careful searching of the highest tree limbs, we counted four sets of red, round eyes and masked faces in a range of sizes. Bandits! Our hostess says they rip out the bulbs around the pond. No picture of the coons, but here is a picture of the pond taken this morning. No better place to cool off after the heat of the day.
