After a moose passed behind my east-facing trail cameras a few days ago, I mounted Melted Browning #6 on a metal rod in the middle of the yard pointing northwest. I was concerned it wasn't steady enough and would have a bunch of false triggers from wind movement. No problem. There were only 48 images in the past week, mostly two separate sequences of this cat walking on the fence. This is much better than when the camera was facing east toward the road and I had 5,000 images to go through.
Someone should tell the cat that the birds moved out of the birdhouses months ago. I forgot to set the date on the trail camera so I have erased it from this image, but this one is from about a week ago. There also was one deer, but it was out of focus from being too close. I would leave the camera in this location permanently except I have people who mow the lawn and they probably wouldn't handle it well, so this is just for the winter.
