The night cams have motion sensors and a flash unit that lets them take a shot every time something walks past the sensor. These remote cameras bring out your inner spy.
I placed the Moultrie out in the east edge of the yard to capture images of the critters that were coming in to eat the pears falling from the ancient pear tree. I got what I expected—mostly rabbits and deer. Here are a few of the more interesting shots.
At 4 am, a nice-sized buck comes in for some pears. Check out the temperature registered on the camera. Brr!
This old boy is big enough to reach some of the low-hanging fruit. Smaller deer have to wait for wind falls.
Just at dusk, the first buck checks for any newly dropped fruit and also looks toward the house to see if anyone is about.
