Fun with our new trail camera

The camera's motion detector clicks the shutter when something comes within view.
At night the infra red sensor gets photos too.
This hen turkey and 4 chicks were hunting for bugs in our meadow.
More chicks. We've counted as many as 12 adults and babies at one time.

Nice looking hen at the edge of the woods.



Some ventured into the back yard beside the barn.


The crow in the front was looking over the newcomers.




View of the backyard.
We positioned the trail cam behind the barn to catch any animals coming out of the woods.


Next we might try the camera here in the east lot along the creek where we bulldozed out stumps, graded and planted grass this spring.


This Eastern Fox squirrel is a giant 2 feet tall. He was looking for acorns in the backyard.


Another regular visitor is this red fox.
