We were driving around East Ballard looking at the new spring blossoms when we noticed a big fuzzy nest high up in a tree.
We looked closer and realized it was a raccoon!
As we were taking pictures, one of the neighbors came out and explained the raccoon took over the crow’s nest about a week ago. She shook the tree so the critter would wake up. When he did, he just stared down at us.
Sitting up on the wire above, a crow peered down with a branch in its mouth, annoyed that its nest had been commandeered by a raccoon.

Love this… We just discovered some nesting raccoons in our neighbors while surveying our weed situation. The nest looked HUGE, then when we looked a bit closer we noticed it was fuzzy/furry and had two tails. We were shocked to see that snoozing in a swaying tree were two raccoons just kicking it. Something you don’t see everyday… we too shook the tree and took pictures. It was quite a sight.
Like NMoser I too just found a nest occupied by a raccoon – in my backyard. However there was a lot of bird racket and I’m thinking the ‘coon was an unwelcome visitor. Should be interesting to see if he sticks around up there.
