I hear you. I like them much better in the wild, not near my neighborhood. Thanks for looking, Ron.

Thanks for the nice comments. I'm sure Rocky appreciates the compliments.

Thanks much, Joe & Ray. He must have been taking lessons from all the birds. Maybe I should have waited to see him fly away.;)

Nice shot Stan. Reminds me of the one I encountered at DeSoto. I turned my back while setting up my tent and left my SUV door open. Next thing I know the raccoon is in the back seat with a breakfast bar in its mouth. It jumped into the front seat when I cam over to the open door so I stepped away and it jumped out carrying its prize. I have a feeling that's not the first time it did that. :)
