Today's entertainment at Scurlock Farms was provided free of charge by a very large raccoon.

After putting out some table scraps in the front yard for my dog, I was standing in the dining room when I spotted what looked like a masked face peering through the greenery at the edge of the bluff. A moment later, the entire raccoon emerged—a hefty fellow about the size of a medium dog.

He stood there sniffing the air like a food critic assessing a five-star restaurant. Apparently deciding the buffet was worth investigating, he began a slow, cautious march toward the front of the house.

I quietly slipped to the side door and eased it open. Mr. Raccoon never noticed. Then I opened the screen door and let out my best banshee scream.

Y'all... that raccoon achieved liftoff.

I've never seen anything that furry leave the ground that fast. He launched straight into the air, spun around, and disappeared down the bluff as if chased by a pack of hounds.

I'm pretty sure he lost one of his nine lives.

We laughed so hard we could barely stand up. Poor guy probably ran all the way to the next county and is still telling his raccoon friends about the crazy woman on the bluff.

This little guy, a male Painted Bunting, showed up on the patio at Rocky Overlook last week! They have been spotted at feeders and about Scurlock Farms.
