raccoon-1.jpgWe’ve heard reports of four separate raccoon sightings on or near 4th Avenue over the past week. Three of the sightings were on Carroll Street—one guy says he saw a raccoon scurrying from the stalled construction site on the corner of Carroll out onto the avenue—while the fourth was close to the entrance of J.J. Byrne Park on 3rd Street. The iPhone pic to the right was captured two nights ago by one of the employees of the car service on Carroll and 4th. The driver says the raccoon hissed at him when he was going in for the close-up. GMAP

  1. They ate my prized goldfish, who was about 12 years old. Bastards. Many sightings of a big raccoon on Carroll Street. I think they are living in the corner lot with the big building that is on eternal hold.

  2. Raccoons ate four of my neighbors prized koi from a pond on 3rd street a couple of weeks ago. They will easily open sealed garbage cans and create a mess from which rats can then feast on left overs. Raccoons are not cute!

  3. July is when I usually see the youngsters showing up.Haven’t seen them this year. Maybe the cool summer start slowed them down.

    Ditto all above: avoid immediate contact, keep pets away, call animal control if seen in daytime, etc.
