looks like she spotted you...
was that why in yesterday's shot she and her kids walked away?

@kairospix: No. They had already walked past the blind, and only turned when they heard the sound of my shutter click. They were passing through, not lingering.

Grrr, these are the bane of my camping existence, especially in the dead of night when I need to wander to the head... scare the crap out of me every time. Nothing wrong with the picture though, you almost made them seem cute :)

@Rene: One more thing to note about the Canadians. In addition to eating ketchup-flavored potato crisps, they hate raccoons.
