First sighting this spring. That means the hibernators are coming out, waking up.
I saw a raccoon crossing highway 523 a week ago, but I never take the first raccoon sighting seriously as an end to hibernation. Depending on where they live, they may not hibernate. If they have a warm place near a constant food supply, they will continue to forage and can be sighted on warm days throughout the winter. City raccoons don't seem to hibernate; watch on any garbage collection day!
