Central Park raccoon, Procyon lotor.
I dipped inside my almost-too-cute-for-words file to present you with this image of a critter I found foraging with its Mother and sibling in Central Park's Ramble one evening. I bet you find it as irresistible as I do.

How did your little trip to the middle of the country go?
That's cool! I spend huge amounts of time in the Park, but I have never seen a raccoon.
Raccoons are far more prevalent in cities than anyone would ever believe. I snagged the raccoon in the link climbing down a tree in a stretch of woods that's about 100 feet wide and sits between busy North Main St. and I-95 in Providence, RI.
And I got the photo of the Red Tailed Hawk from about 10' away on the 2nd floor State House balcony.

I once saw a raccoon out in Forest Hills -- it popped out of some bushes ahead of me to cross the sidewalk and drink from the gutter, but retreated as I came up the sidewalk toward it.
Of course, not too far from that spot, I once found an octopus on the sidewalk! (One of the little ones, quite dead. I suspect it escaped from somebody's dinner supplies, only to find itself on a "concrete desert".)
