Wildlife camera – October

Fox, deer, bobcat, and more!

My two wildlife cameras spent another month in the yard, capturing some fun photos and video of critters who visit our property. Most of them were captured at night, using the cameras’ infrared illumination. Check out the gallery!

Perhaps the most fun video was the parade of animals that came by our patio to check out the spot where we’d accidentally dropped a pizza as it came out of the pizza oven! I also experimented with other locations.

You may want to take another look at September’s gallery, to which I’ve added some new content. Lots of critters came to browse for fallen apples under the apple tree: groundhog, possum, raccoon, porcupine, turkey, deer, fox.  I was particularly excited to see a bobcat come by one night!

For November, I’ve placed the cameras in the forested hillside across the street – with landowner permission – and am hoping for some more action “in the wild!”

  1. our wild life camera stopped working after ants built a nest in it. Do you have suggestions for brand & make of camera that is reasonable price?
    Thank you for your help.

    1. I have only this one pair of cameras, and they were a gift so I do not know the price nor have I done the research to understand the options about such cameras. These two seem decent quality, but otherwise pretty cheap and basic: JDL-201 from Punvoe. I check the memory card every week, and have moved them every couple of weeks,… so with those disturbances there would not likely be anyone building a nest inside them!

      1. Thank you for replying. I will look up your camera. Hopefully ants won’t be active in cold weather.
