In the collection of trail cam photos there were deer!
She walked into the camera view sniffed around a little, then left. She had a buddy in the background. Only the one sighting of the herd in three weeks at this trail cam location.

Legs and tail
The second trail cam I set lower than recommended on a tree in the woods, just behind the meadow. After collecting the pictures, I think I’ll raise it up some.
Oh deer
I lost my trail cam for a while. I forgot which tree I put it on. Honestly I forgot it was on a tree and not on a stand. I doused myself in bug spray and dove into the summer woods looking for it, and found it right where I left it last time. Hm.
Any who, there will be trail cam pics for a couple days.
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.
Halloween decoration update
Last year I bought a sturdy plastic skeleton and secured it to the back of the wire deer in the meadow as if the deer was the skeleton’s steed. I had a different idea this year.
