Wildlife Gardening: baby raccoon behavior, 1 by JulieQ

I heard a noise on my back deck and found two baby raccoons out there. I guess they were trying to get my bird seed. ANYWAY, I went to scare them off and they were not afraid of me. That kind of scared me into thinking that the momma was nearby and I know that raccoons can be vicious. I captured this picture and then skedaddled inside. I don't know if they were just too young to react (they didn't even hiss) or if they couldn't figure out how to safely get down, or they were waiting on momma. Anyone know raccoon behavior?
