poor little thing......

Now that the eagles have two eggs, there will be nothing allowed anywhere near the nest.

At first I thought this li'l guy WAS Thanksgiving dinner for the Eagles! ;-)

It sort of looks like a cat from this angle.

That wouldn't go over very big with Mom or Dad right now since they seem to be in mating mode.

LOL....wrong place for sleep :D

[MomjMimi]

This bed is just right. Wonder if that is fish I smell for breakfast? Maybe they won't notice me and I can do a little cleaning while I'm here. It really feels safe here……and yet…..not so safe. Well, I will see who the good animals who live here are and try to share. Now I'm a little sleepy.

Wonderful video---I really loved it!!! Thank you.

Was he a mouse guest? I mean, house ...

I wonder if raccoon knows the possible danger -- plus, what is s/he eating? I see movement like pregnant!! Hmmmmm

[dreamingthrough]

Oh, be careful little guy. :)

Lucky Raccoon, he would have made a great meal for the Eagles.

Thanks, EpiscoCrucifier: The raccoon stayed for about 50  minutes all snuggled in like Goldilocks.

I've been sharing this with friends, but just now remembered my manners. So I'm back here to say a big Thank You for capturing this.

I thought aw, it's just a baby. But the nest is six feet side, so I guess not, the camera condenses the view of the nest. Thanks for posting!

He was giving thanks for the eagle's nest. I saw the tree moving.
