actually when I was growing up...my grandmother (my dad's mom).had many pets...several dogs, cats, a crow (yes in a cage) even taught the crow to speak a few words...and a raccoon...his name was bandit...
not sure how she tamed him...(probably scared him)..and he used to sit on my lap...
I used to play with him often. But this was oh..30 years ago.

good job catching him!
Yes, its called a Goldfinch.


Theimp, good for you for catching that coon. Sounds like you had an interesting day at work. Animal control probably would have trapped it and had it PTS. That's what they do here.

Especially since I have no qualms about telling people that I rescued a snake in our garage that was caught on some duct tape. Oh and yeah, the one about capturing the black widow in our hallway in a jar and letting her go at the woodline. I get alot of strange looks.
Eric does the same thing. Our neighbors brought over a rat glue strip with a 2 foot hog-nose snake stuck to it. They felt bad but wanted Eric to kill it.
Eric spent two hours working to free that snake. Then he rolled him in sand to help with the sticky glue and let him go.

Good job Bruce.
I love racoons, baby ones are especailly cute. My mom and dad get huge racoons were they live all the time. It cracks me up because they are so big that there is a waddle to their walk.

Good for you! I'm glad you managed to catch him and get him back outside. A coon or coons got inside our neighbors' house one time - you wouldn't have believed the destruction. The kitchen was totally trashed.

Now I'm curious - how did they get the bats out of the server room? Jamie has caught bats on our back balcony a few times, and released them in the living room, but they've been so petrified that we've managed to pick them up and put them back outside.

Never had the chance of meeting one of those critters yet
But I have seen how they waddle when I watch wildlife programmes. It's so cute seeing their butts wiggle when they walk

Good for you, Bruce. Killing the poor guy wasn't the answer. But then, you wouldn't have wanted to tangle with a p*ssed off 25 lb coon either!!!

(Excuse me while I hijack your thread, Bruce.) The Moth Man! I read the book about that, and I was just about as bewildered at the end as I was at the beginning. Is it fiction or not? Do people really claim to have seen this thing? What do they think it is?

More to the point, what do YOU think?

Female goldfinches are yellow-green all year. If it is yellowish green bird about 5 inches long with black wings but no black cap it is a female goldfinch.

Bruce - I think that the bats came into the server room because they heard some many persons complaining that the system was driving them batty.
