Thanks to Rosy for hosting this event.
We spoke last weekend about Lady moving her trail cam so she could see who was taking the feeder.
Last Friday, Man noted the feeder was on the ground at lunch time, so Lady brought the camera in.
This is what it captured (along with 3500 other pictures she needs to go through!)
Here you see a black squirrel on the big feeder, and you can make out the small feeder on the right - it is at the very edge. That is the feeder that was removed.
Next, we get this series of pictures of the red squirrel. Note - this not the only time a squirrel was captured literally on the camera. If you note, the camera has been moved, so you can't see the small feeder to the right.
The camera has been moved so you can't see the small feeder.
This is the very last shot of the feeder, you can just make out the bottom of it if you look carefully.
Our best guess is that pesky red squirrel somehow managed to knock it off! It is just super funny that before this happened the squirrel went on the camera. However, the mystery is not completely solved. Maybe, once I have gone through all of these pictures, we will try again.
The squirrels aren't the only ones hamming it up for the camera!
Stay tuned for more trail cam feeder pictures!
Note: Lady highly recommends this as a hobby item. She did not get one of the fancy that sends the picture to your phone (internet is too bad out here). She got an inexpensive one and is very happy with it!
Ha, we had those pesky little red squirrels in New Hampshire; they were everywhere, including our basement!

ReplyDeleteFabulous array of images and as you say, most entertaining - both as a hobby and for we the viewers! YAM xx
red john again? we love the bird.. it looks like a bird from a fairytale
ReplyDeletecaught in the Act! small furry thieves/destroyers. I had considered a cam because several bloggers get great shots, but with the advent of the new roof, pool pump, tree removal, the only way I will get one is as a gift
ReplyDeleteFirst and foremost I LOVE X 87 your temperatures in the high 60's. I look forward to those temps in late September. Squirrels no matter their fur color are a bit nuisance. I know they have to eat too but they are such hoggies

We know all about those red squirrels having fun and causing all sorts of problems!
ReplyDeleteSo much fun!! Mama has one on her Christmas List!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun to see everyone that comes to visit your feeder. We hope you find the culprit soon.
