The Northern Raccoon (Procyon lotor)  is wide spread through much of North America. It is also the most frequently recorded of any mammal that I record remotely with my recorders.

Raccoons are very prone to scuffle and fight with one another as they travel nightly through their territory.  Where ever I leave recorders they are visited almost every night by these curious animals.

I took this photo of a Northern Raccoon in the rain forest of the Olympic Peninsula, Washington.

Raccoons make a very wide variety of odd sound.

The following sequences are a variety of sounds made by the Norther Raccoon.
