Hi John,
Yep those three 'bandit eyed' raccoons sure look cute.
James and I met a couple who were able to get near and pat many of the young and older raccoons of several generations that were born on their property each year. Some were more friendly than others. This particular year these family of 3 young raccoons were friendly and we got to sit quietly and let them come right up to us and eat pieces of apple from our fingers. They loved to have the outside tap dripping so they could wash their paws and their pieces of apple before eating.
I was quite taken with them my first and only up close and personal interaction with live raccoons - seen many dead on the road from being hit by vehicles.
