More from the trail cam

I do like the new location for the trail cam. I’m getting regular allotment of critters.

There were also the regular scattering of cats, birds, and squirrels, with one neighborhood dog going by. What I haven’t seen is any evidence of raccoons. I think our colony was really and truly wiped out by distemper about a year ago, which makes me remorseful. My animals are all vaccinated for distemper, but the feral cats are not. Raccoons are susceptible to both feline and canine distemper, so it could have been either a cat or neighborhood dog that infected them. Did you know that a group of raccoons is called a nursery or a gaze? There we go.
