We had (well, still have, while I write this) a visitor in the back yard this afternoon. He's sleeping in the Ficus tree, where there is all sorts of leaf litter and twigs, caught in the space between the trunks. Poor guy sounds like he has a cold, he's coughing and sneezing. The tree makes a nice nest for him. The neighbors dog woke him up. He's been out there for several hours now, just sleeping.
This is his "night". I've never been that close to a sleeping raccoon before. Just like the cats, he's lying upside-down... and you could see his whiskers twitching. Makes you wonder what Raccoon dream about when they sleep.
