Wednesday's Deer Report

The visitors were munching in the yard today.

Are they yard statues, or are they real?

They moved. Not statues.

What the heck are they finding to eat down there in the dried-out grass?

I wish they could trim the grass well enough to make it look like I used the weed-whacker on it.

*Buurrrrrrrppp*!!

Camera! Action! Lights!

One corner of our house is close to the "wild" area of our backyard. The corner has motion-sensing lighting that pops on two or three times a night. But by the time I get to the window and peek out, whatever tripped the light is already gone.

So being very curious, we installed some surveillance cameras around the outside. They start recording when they detect motion in their field of view. I made a "birdhouse" for one camera. 

Looks like a birdhouse, doesn't it?

Here are some of the more interesting wildlife views the camera has collected:



The Disappointed Hummingbird

(Time-saving Note: No need to watch a video all the way to the end unless otherwise stated. The action is over when the animal(s) leave the frame).

The Sauntering Buck

Rocky Racoon

 

 "Wasp-zilla"
