Surprise

I put the ancient #6 on the bluebird box just to see if the bluebirds are around. They are, but the camera was too close to the box and the images were blurry. However, it was the perfect distance to get this:

Earlier that morning the camera also captured this. At first I thought the two dots above the deer's shoulder were some other critter watching from a distance, but the dots are there in other nighttime images and I think they are lights in a distant house.

This is one of the least-blurry bluebird images.

Here's something the bluebirds have to worry about. I find this neither cute nor funny.

Meanwhile, just a few feet away at the little birdbath, I set up the closeup camera Guardepro #14 to see if the flickers are coming around. Not yet. I have seen a skunk a few times in the past few years, but the appearances seem to be getting more frequent.

As I have said many times before, I do not use the infostrip on the Guardepro images, but this is from the day before the fence jumping. And no flickers, but plenty of magpies and blackbirds.
