Night Visions

The trail cameras sometimes catch interesting action during the night - both unexpected visitors and sometimes humorous poses.

This was one of the bean-eating culprits discovered in the act by the bean patch camera. I'm just glad the beans were finally able to keep ahead of the mice - it was touch and go for a while!

Another mouse was caught scampering along by one of the other trail cameras. It was such an earnest little fellow that I had to include him.

Sometimes the predators come around at night. Here's one of our resident bobcats trotting along the trail.

A doe was caught passing very close to the camera. We've actually gotten pictures of just noses and whiskers before, but this was more recognizable, if not quite as humorous.

Once again out in the bean patch, this woodcock came to look for worms. I always love seeing those guys. In the spring we like to sneak out at dusk and watch and listen to them do their mating spirals.
