June Camera Trap

* * *


Coyote (who plainly sees the weird box strapped to a tree limb). 
(A fast-moving pup had blurred through a week earlier)



Gray Squirrel (a frequent visitor)




Band-Tailed Pigeon (maybe a first at this site)



Raccoon



Jackrabbit (a first for this site)



Coyote's Close-up



Cooper's Hawk (a first for this site)



Gray Fox



Jackrabbit (many frames held jackrabbits, maybe even outnumbering squirrel shots)



Deer



Bigfoot

I moved the camera a little farther back this morning. I had a hunch this might not have been the best spot, but I'd coveted a close proximity to the watering hole. Unfortunately, I couldn't point the camera down as much as I'd have liked. 

It's interesting to go through a whole month's worth of images and find only two coyotes, one gray fox, one raccoon, one buck deer and one doe. Not a single bobcat. Squirrels have always liked this spot, but so have steller's jays, which didn't make a single appearance. It was interesting to see a resident jackrabbit for the first time. 

July might be more productive since water is beginning to get scarce.
