The first things to come by were about 90 images of a field biology class. I did not want to go through the trouble of getting their permission to post their images so you will have to take me at my word.
Next was a bobcat that came by during the night and sniffed around for a minute or two. Unfortunately all I got were butt shots as it placed itself between the camera and the dead bird. This is not either mum or kit that we have seen so often before.
The bobcat did nothing more than sniff. I guess it was not hungry enough to eat a three day dead bird. Or maybe they don't care for greasy seagulls.
A killdeer checking the area out. These may have one of the better latin names in all of the bird world. Charadrius vociferus. Vociferus indeed.
A ground squirrel. Gotta say his real estate is much better than all the ground squirrels we see in the meadows of campus. I am sure he has a bit of a collapsing tunnel issue though.
A raccoon stops by in the rain.
Beecheyi on guard once again.
Batteries only lasted 6 days due to the large number of human triggers and yielded mostly butt shots, but the killdeer and ground squirrel were new photographed species.
I reset the batteries and gave it another shot with only slightly better results that I will share next time.
butt shots are still entertaining. :)
ReplyDeleteNice set. Did the moving grass trigger the camera much?
ReplyDeleteHess et al: No not really at all. I think the only longer grass was far enough away from the camera. I still have to do the calculations but I think I was around 80% positive trigger rate and a good chunk of the "false" triggers were likely just the camera being too slow and missing the creature that walked by.
