Raccoon during the day on Shellpot Creek

I am told that it has been a long time since there has been a confirmed case of raccoons with rabies in Wilmington, but I am still cautious around raccoons during the daytime (and at night as well).

Do any of my readers know more?

This raccoon pretty brazenly walked along the creek even while were sitting on the rocks. Then it continued up to my neighbors yard where a bunch if them get fed.
