"DOR Ringtail west of Harper, Texas on U.S. 290 These are sometimes called ""Ring-tailed Cat"" but they are not a cat at al. They are in the family Procyonids, so relatives of raccoons. This species occurs in the American Southwest from Texas west to California. This is a nocturnal animal and I see road kills occasionally in this area (and sometimes even a live one!). The black and white ringed tail is longer and thinner than a raccoon's and the body generally paler. This one had been on the road for several days, unfortunately."

"Technically, we didn't ""see"" this animal. It was ""captured"" early in the morning (3:07 a.m.) on our wildlife camera, focused on the bird bath in the backyard. The image is quite overexposed but very identifiable; notice the banded tail hanging down below the rim of the bird bath. Living in a fully built-out subdivision leaves us quite urbanized, but the greenbelt and creek corridor in our backyard provides an abundance of tolerable wildlife. Even so, this was a surprise to us."

Missed focus :(

The wildlife cam at the bird bath has revealed that a Ringtail (one or more?) is a regular, periodic visitor to our yard. We're getting images of it about every 3 or 4 days. Here's the best image yet. This one visited at about 6 a.m. this morning.
