Earth Day
![Rokeby's trail camera has caught another late-night visitor to the Red Trail, a familiar one to many Vermonters. This raccoon, one of Rowland E. Robinson's "midnight prowlers", stopped by a few times over the course of a week. RER had many colorful nicknames for the raccoon (free-booter, robber, despoiler of cornfields), but he also had a great fondness for the animal:
"This little brother of the bear is one of the few remaining links that connects us with the old times...when all the world had not entered for the race to gain the prize of wealth, or place, or renown. [It is pleasant] to know that he survives...if he too shall not then have gone the inevitable way of all the wild world." - RER, "The Raccoon", In New England Field and Woods, 1896
