Answer: it's the noses on two sleeping raccoons, of course.

Raccoon noses in a tree in Central Park, NYC.

The photographer, Bob Levy, writes;

You might recall that Grrl Scientist posted a photo of a single raccoon schnoz poking out of this same hole last year. Notice, if you will, that of the two schnozs in this new image the one in the background appears to be larger than the one in the foreground. I suspect that the larger nose is attached to Mama Raccoon. After I took this shot I came back to the spot a couple of hours later and found Mama with four frisky cubs climbing in and out of three different openings in the same tree including this one. Alas it was too dark to analyze the comparative sizes of their respective noses but you can count on me to keep trying.
