RACCOON RUMBLE
Thursday, July 23, 2020
Something of an insomniac night last night, not helped by what sounded like something being brutally murdered in the backyard at 2 AM. I was pretty sure it was raccoons fighting (though I wasn't sure if they were fighting each other or something else) and this recording confirms it - this is very similar to what I heard (except what I heard was a lot louder and lasted a lot longer.)

They were up in the trees at least part of the time and never visible in my backyard (I was shining a light out the window to try to see them.)
