[The following is from a personal email I sent about a
summer raccoon release.]
Here are the photos from the raccoon release.
The property is gorgeous; running water, lots of trees and
rock formations. A few of the raccoons bolted straight away, but most were
reluctant to leave their crates. Once out, a few even ran back in! After
everyone was out, some began to explore. The rest followed A- and I like
ducklings, running in a row after us. We walked down the riverbank, and each
time we doubled back to the truck more and more of the raccoons would peel
away, distracted by the rocks and the river and things to explore, touching and
tasting everything (and discovering that rocks are not delicious.) It was a
relief to see them out of their crates and wading in a river. A few of the more
timid kept running back to touch my shoe, each time scampering further and
further away. Here's wishing them a future filled with trees and rivers, and no
more dog food and shoes.
