Friends were assessing how to fix a vent to Beth Parks’ Gouldsboro home on Sunday when they came across a surprise: baby raccoons huddled together beneath her deck. A former wildlife biologist who now authors books, Parks said she immediately recognized the chirping and chittering sounds the four kits made. The tiny newborns – they hadn’t been born long enough for their eyes to open – had no trouble at all being loud, she said. “These critters were the sweetest raccoons I’ve had yet,” Parks said.
