Nice job trail cam. I like your composition, and the lighting is suburb. A little blurry on your subject, but overall a nice shot.

I rather like where the trail cam currently resides for the close ups of skunks and woodcocks, but it is too close for deer. We get pictures of deer parts. Oh deer.

Here is another new appearance on the trail cam footage: a skunk!

We have certainly smelled when one of these guys has gone off in the neighborhood, and have occasionally seen one trundling about, but haven’t had the trail cam capture an image until now. Neat.

Well here is something new on the trail cam: an American Woodcock. We were quite shocked when we saw the long beak of a shore bird in the camera footage. The camera is situated along a mostly dry creek bed on the edge of our property, but we’ve been here four years without an identifiable picture of one of these (also called timberdoodles). We are on the western edge of their territory. I rather hope it likes it here and we get more sightings. It is such a curious looking little beastie.

Specifically, there is a squirrel at the end of my rope. She has shredded it and is trying to tug it apart. Here is a fuzzy video. All of the alpaca fleece I left out before is gone, so I put a new batch out. She is going to have some warm and cozy babies.
