A few days ago I checked the trail cam for the first time in a couple of weeks, and I was amazed at the variety of wildlife it captured! Below are some blurry frames for you to admire.
First up, some rabbits:
Next, a cat. This cat has been terrorizing Chili and Jalapeno for weeks, because every time it comes through our yard, they start hissing at it for infringing upon their territory. And it comes through our yard a lot!
A construction worker. Some underground electric cables were being replaced at the corner of our property.
A fox. I don't see them very often, so it's always exciting when they appear.
A skunk:
A coyote:
A turkey. We think this must be a banner year for turkeys, because we've spotted them all over the county this spring.
A deer. It's always shocking to see one on the trail cam because they're so much bigger than all the other animals that typically appear.
A raccoon:
And let's not forget the ever-present squirrels and birds!
That was more variety than I normally see when checking the camera. About the only animal I didn't see was a possum. Speak of the possum, though, and it appears, because when I checked the trail cam this evening there was a video of one:
That wasn't all, though, because I also captured over a dozen videos from last night of a deer that was eating out of the bird feeder! It came by twice, for about 7-8 minutes each time. Here it is:
I have long suspected something like this happens, and it is in fact the reason I got the trail cam in the first place. See my Household Mysteries post from 4 years ago where I wondered how a bunch of bird food disappeared overnight.
Mystery solved?
