Report on Racoon activities at Thornton Creek Park #6
by Ruth Williams and Don MacCall
This is a great series of shots by Don MacCall and Ruth Williams of Thornton creek Alliance. They are longtime stewards of Thornton Creek Park #6 near Northgate. The downstream section of this park has been adopted by beavers who have utterly transformed the place into an active wetland, and haven for many urban wildlife species. Racoons are just one of the species attracted to this place.
They are well adapted to the urban forests and are fascinating for people to observe because of their obvious intelligence and resourcefulness.

The racoon babies are just too cute to ignore. The picture of the group on the creek bank
shows a mother with FIVE babies. A couple of weeks ago we saw two adult
raccoons sauntering down Northgate Way! Again, these pictures were taken by
Don McCall.
