No matter where you live, you might be surprised at the activity just outside your door when the sun goes down. Place a few inexpensive trail cameras around your yard and find out...
We live in a small development where our property is bordered on two sides by farmland. It is an ideal location to monitor wildlife activity...
With the start of the whitetail deer rut I expected more bucks to be traveling in search of does. I was not disappointed...
Sometimes the activity is unexpected...
Until the reason becomes known...
Thankfully, our neighbors are good about keeping their animals under control. But even the normally well-behaved dogs make a break on occasion...
What is more concerning to me is the number of cats prowling about...
It is well known that that cats, both domestic and feral, kill millions of songbirds every year. Natural predators pose a threat to birds as well...
We have at least two red foxes that are regular visitors...
One myth that trail cameras help dispel is that if coyotes live nearby, they will kill every cat and dog in the area...
Deer hunters often blame coyotes for their lack of hunting success. We have plenty of coyotes and way too many deer for their own good...
Other regular visitors are opossums...
Groundhogs...
Yes, they often climb trees...
Wild turkeys use our trail and piney woods...
The cameras have captured hawks and owls...
Even the occasional mink...
Thanks for visiting, be well, and come back soon.
