Raccoon going down the chimney decided to visit down in the basement because the damper was open.
They closed off the fireplace in the basement, thinking that the raccoon was stuck in the chimney.
I trapped the raccoon the first night, just need to monitor to make sure there are no more.
Raccoons climb in and out of chimneys just like a good old hollow tree.
In the springtime, the female will have babies on top of the damper to protect them from the males, trying to kill the young pups.
Need to check in monitor the trap daily until the chimney cover arrives from California.
