Do Raccoons Come Out During The Day?

Well the answer is YES!

This guy has been knocking down our trash cans for some time now. Yesterday while sitting on the couch I saw him come out of a tree in our backyard and sneak around our deck.  He eventually went up another tree off our deck where we cornered him and took pictures.  Apparently raccoons do come out during the day.

Have you ever seen a raccoon during the day?

  1. They are so sneaky and mean but they are also so cute!!

  2. I see them around the school I work at during the day. They are usually behind the parking lot hiding though

  3. I don’t think I have, usually it isn’t a good sign if they are out during the day!

  4. That first picture is great! I don’t see raccoons around here – it doesn’t matter what time of day it is.

  5. I don;t see too many night or day.

  6. Mary Ambrosino says

    Be careful if he acts funny. You have to watch out for rabies.

    • I don’t think he will be back…but he was really huge…oh and James found a baby turtle yesterday on the road.

  7. OK that raccoon has a crazy look in his eyes!

  8. Nope, I don’t think I’ve ever seen one during the day.

  9. Great picture. I love watching wild animals but I know they can be troublesome. Especially dumping the trash cans.

  10. Yikes! Daytime raccoons mean rabies much of the time!

  11. My parents live out kind of in the country and they used to get raccoons coming up on their porch to eat the cat food they left out for the stray cats around. I always had to check out the window before I went outside at nighttime, because there was no way I was going out there with it.

  12. Oh I really like the second picture!!! I just saw a raccoon the other day!

  13. Absolutely! i see them all the time – these are great!

  14. Wow, you got really close. I don’t think I have ever seen one during the day!

  15. Oh ww, I have only seen them in the early hours or evening, but not in the middle of the day. Awesome shot!

  16. Great capture!

    I played too. Mine are here and here.
