The flash on my camera revealed two raccoons in the African Sumac tree,
and two more raccoons down in the arroyo (dry stream bed).

Skywatching at Sunrise
While checking out the sunrise early one morning in October, I heard what sounded like gremlins coming from up in a tree.
The flash on my camera revealed two raccoons in the African Sumac tree,
and two more raccoons down in the arroyo (dry stream bed).

You had a lot of company to begin the day with, Diane!! Love those little spooky eyed critters and the hawk is lovely not to mention your gorgeous skies! Definitely the best way to begin the day! Have a great weekend!

You were right, those are gremlins. They can be a nuisance but they are cute and fun to watch.
Beautiful skies and I love the bird and raccoon.
How lucky you are to be surrounded by wildlife!
I go for morning walks, too! I LOVE the morning light. I don't see raccoons, just HUGE jackrabbits!
Raccoons are gremlins all right! But they sure are cute too. :)
I love the sunrise picture, but the raccoons and the Cooper's Hawk really add to the experience.
How cool to catch the raccoons watching you back! Haven't run into any of those guys yet!

Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful weekend.

PS loved your post
What a wealth of critters! We have a Cooper's Hawk that roosts in the neighborhood occasionally. One morning we went out for a walk and he was circling overhead. I believe we interrupted his breakfast which was scattered in a perfect circle in the front yard.
Beautiful photos, Diane! I love the last photo with the subtle pink-mauve sky.
It's good to be blogging again after an extremely busy several months - I've missed being here!
Fascinating wild life and beautiful shots!!
Great wildlife photos! The raccoons are so cute.
Ewww raccoons is watching you!!
Looking at the sky
I love raccoons, they are so cute.
Those raccoons look so naughty. I think they're cute but I know they can also be vicious.
So much hustle-and-bustle in the animal world, while the rest of us are just waking up for the day! Great captures.
Cutest racoons EVER!!!!!
You have splendid skywatch photos and the racoons look very very cute. I'd like to have a soft toy that look like them!
So interesting :)
Very beautiful post!
Grand images and the one you chose with the Cooper's Hawk is really wonderful. I happen to love all hawks and we have the Cooper's where I live as well. Happy weekend~
