A mother Raccoon was herding three of her children along the edge of the Vierra Wetlands drive. The slope down away from the road is mowed and then there is a wide section of tall marsh grasses before an impoundment of open water.
We watched from the car as the family was weaving in and out of the taller grasses and reeds. Occasionally mama came further out into the mowed area to check back on what her charges were up to.
A family portrait was not on the agenda.

Very cute.
Mama’s always waiting on the kids, lol. Nice sighting and captures, Ellen!
Thanks, Donna. It was interesting watching their interactions.
Sweet shots Ellen!
Thanks, Belinda. You have to smile at their cute faces.
