In Ithaca, the house we rented had a fireplace that we hardly ever used. One year, we forgot to close the flue, because the glass doors that closed off the fireplace were so effective at keeping out the chill.
During that winter a pair of raccoons decided to nest of the bend in the fireplace. We'd occasionally come home to find they'd climbed down into the fireplace and were sitting there starting through the glass doors at us. They'd only climb back up when we turned the lights on.
