Wildlife, living next to nature

[BigV]

Eagles are a regular sight around here, and I always find them beautiful.


Meanwhile, I found these two rascals in my driveway the other day. They were checking out something interesting in a pile of weeds and grass I'd recently dug up. Either that or the one on the left is taking a dump in my rosebed.



Then, they moved away from the car, not a care in the world, enjoying the sunny day.



There was some discussion in the middle of the street,



Which was resolved as they decided to go check out the backyard of my neighbor across the street.

I've never seen a raccoon in the wild. I've only seen them in urban areas.

On Saturday I saw a black bear on the hillside maybe 100 feet from the road. It was pretty cool, I hadn't seen one in decades. This was in Shenandoah National Park. No pics, but it did happen.
