Well, I’ve been trying a number of things to bring animals back in view of the camera, once again everyone’s seemingly packed up and left town… I set cameras up and leave them running for 6 hours and get nothing… it seems to be the running theme of late. I did manage to get a shot of a squirrel resting on a branch… not the most compelling video, but it is something in a seemingly endless rut of nothingness…

Here is the video…

Well, after what’s seemed like 1000 years to me, the heat has finally died down and the animals are slowly starting to creep their way back into the yard (and back into camera view…) I’ve been putting out a test camera to see what (if anything) would chance it’s way to get some food from the Feeder project, and slowly but surely I’ve been getting things to “take a chance” on camera… Yesterday I set up some controllable cameras to get a better shot of what’s been eating near the project and the neighboorhood crowd did not disappoint - there was “pointer squirrel” (you’ll see it in the beginning of the video), a Grackle or 2 (which is a huge deal for me, as I haven’t had them come to the yard in the last few years) and a very good shot of a squirrel just checking things out…

“Who… me??”
