April Trail Camera #2 Photos - The Backyard

The camera at the edge of the backyard did a yeoman's work this past month. 

As expected there were plenty of deer.

An opossum.

Front of a bobcat...

...and the back end.

A couple of night-time deer.

Raccoon strolling by...

...closer still.

Tongue sticking out!

Another raccoon shot.

Covey of quail out...

...and about.

Opossum going about his business.

I hope he is vacuuming up ticks.

Bunny

So is he cute?

Or just plain ugly?

Steller's Jay

American Robin 

Remember the bear who came by?  Here's the action shot as the motion detector water sprinkler drove him off.

Bob-cat 

I wonder where his rounds take him.

I think the opossum wins as April's most frequent visitor. 

See the little Junco?

Mr. Quail strutting his stuff.

And we end with a trifecta of Steller's Jays.

Hi Beth!
I really enjoy seeing all your trail photos and I was wondering how close to your home is the camera? It must be really fun to see who shows up on the camera but wondering how it would feel to have Poohs and bobcats nearby! Take care!

Trail camera #2 gets the prize. I chuckled at the bear picture. I bet the water was a surprise. Enjoy your Sunday!

I think opossums are adorable! There's a "celebrity" opossum on YouTube - his name is Ratatouille - who likes to go snowboarding. It's hilarious!

Such a great variety of critters! Glad the bear is getting the message with the water sprinkler :)

Wow! Those are some great shots! A bob cat would be a shock up here, though the deer come by day and night to eat everything in sight.
