Florida Critters
Here it is -- the moment you've all been waiting for. (Not really, I know.) I downloaded the data from the wildlife cam yesterday morning and found a few interesting clips. I captured a pretty big raccoon sauntering across the back yard at my stepmother's guesthouse, another raccoon snuffling the camera and trying to figure out how to take it off the tree (!) and finally, an armadillo nosing around a rotted part of our dock, where there are probably plenty of bugs. For just four nights' recording, and not knowing where I was likely to encounter animals, I was pretty happy with that glimpse of nocturnal Florida!
I am programming this to post automatically, because I'm not landing until 9 a.m. Tuesday. I'll fill you in on my journey on Wednesday, if there are any stories to tell!

The racoon really gave the camera a good shaking.
ReplyDeleteIt's lucky your camera survived that racoon!
ReplyDeleteInteresting to see night time visitors in a different part of the world
I have never seen an armadillo (or a racoon) in the wild - even though the latter have steadily been spreading in Germany, too, to the point of becoming something of a pest in some areas (not where I live).
