AKA Racoons, these were by the creek either catching minnows or washing food. Actually, it isn’t that they are so fastidious with their food, but rather they cannot supply enough saliva of their own so must add water to eat properly.
I'm from Huntsville, Alabama where I work as a Software Engineer and part-time banjo instructor. My wife Miiko and I worship at Rivertree Downtown.
I've been playing various instruments since my teen years. I started mandolin and dulcimer at about age 17 and banjo at 20. I love just about all kinds of music. In terms of banjo styles, I play and teach Scruggs, melodic, clawhammer, and 2-finger styles.
I'm also very keen on theology, being a Trail Care Partner with the Land Trust of North Alabama, photography, urban planning, architecture, astronomy, ATM (amateur telescope making), birding, martial arts, and about 30 other distracting hobbies to a (mercifully) lesser extent.

“Trash panda” is one I’ve not heard. Most appropriate! Nice capture of the prints… 🙂
Thanks! Yep, there is a local baseball team here in town with trash pandas as the mascot, so you hear it a lot here! 🙂
Apologies in advance, but I am stealing that awesome alias! Sounds so much better than the insults I hurl their way on a daily basis.
LOL – yes, that’s such a funny name! 🙂
