Where there are people eating there will be raccoons. And there were a lot of people eating in Bill Baggs State Park in Key Biscayne on Saturday. Just before the park closed for the night, I took a quick drive through and found two opportunistic raccoons canvassing the recently abandoned picnic areas. They got a little skiddish every time I got down on the ground, but eventually they relaxed and I was able to get some decent narrow depth of field, eye level shots like this one. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/200th of a second

Great close-up , I found the Florida Strain to run smaller than their cousins up north, but still looking for a good meal where ever they can find it
I saw one in the park near me, Carl Schurz Park, one evening last week. The dogs were mesmerized but knew not to bark at him for some reason. Maybe they could smell that it was not another dog?
