Wildlife, living next to nature

In a word, yes!

It's absolutely blood curdling and at its worst during January.
I had one scream just outside my window a few weeks ago in the depths of the night.
Frightened the living daylights out of me.

I set up the camera again last night and I'm slightly concerned that apparently only one cub put in an appearance.

Anyway, this one brought his mum along...



The camera would appear to be of some interest...

I wonder if the kit with Mom at 10:30 was the same one alone at 2:30?
By the way, it's chilly there.

That crossed my mind as well.
I know that they are pretty territorial so it's unlikely to be an interloper, but I suppose it's possible that the vixen takes the litter foraging in shifts.

My next door but one neighbour saw a vixen and six cubs enjoying the sun in her back garden in early June last year.
Shortly after that four young ones visited us on a nightly basis for a while.
I assume that they were from the same litter.

Chilly here? No, it's positively sub-tropical.
On Saturday we woke up to quite a sharp frost.

One of the pair from the other night was larger, maybe he snuck out without his little sister last night so Mom had to take her.

10 F warmer here at the same time, predicting 76 F today but still soggy from all the rain.

Last night I put out a little dish of leftovers (chum) in my driveway and captured a skunk, a raccoon, a fox and my kitty cat on my WildView camera.
Very much non-Nat Geo quality.
Is there a fairly simple way put them on this thread?

[BigV]

Yes.

How do you view the images captured by your camera?

If they somehow get to your computer for viewing, it's only a couple easy steps further to post them here.

There are details of course, and I'd be happy to walk you through the process. A private message and a way to contact you would expedite the process.

Sounds like it might be video? If it's still shots then they could be posted like any other picture, and that's pretty easy.

[Diaphone Jim]

The cam pics can only be viewed on my computer and are auto saved in my Pictures, where I can look at them individually and fool around with them.
It seems that a copy/paste thing like text should work if I can just get them and me all in one place.
Another time or five through the FAQs might help.

[xoxoxoBruce]

If they are on your computer then this should work if they are within size limits. pictures people send me from their phones are usually 3 to 4 feet wide and 5 megabytes and that won't fly.

[Diaphone Jim]

Thanks, Bruce. I'll give that a try after I get some chores done.
I had another critter last night and if this works, we can call him xoxoxoPogo.

[Diaphone Jim]

Well, sort of.
When my computer stops smoking, I'll try a fox.

[Diaphone Jim]

Fox, same night:

OK, those to pictures are 22.222 inches wide, knocked down to 12 inches...
