This is probably one of my most regrettable (yet amazing) experiences based on a lack of knowledge and the idea that I wouldn’t have found an uncommon animal. I am now so so deeply in love with this species.

Unfortunately this is the only photo I took.

Absolutely ecstatic that I found this! I have a habit of checking any clump of moss I see on the ground in Douglas Fir dominated forests and this time it paid off. The presence of resin ducts verifies that this part of a fallen nest from Arborimus longicaudus. Scat can even be seen as well. See photos for chew marks on the resin ducts from feeding.

While I was at my girlfriend’s house through her window I saw a raccoon that was wondering around. I was alarmed at first because of how close he was then I slowly realized he was just curious and wanted to look inside of the house through the window. He stuck around for a little and just hung outside with her cats and then later left.
