But even they hadn’t anticipated fairly such a plethora of animals to show up and positively not so shortly.
Danae, a conservation author and photographer, stated: ‘Much to our surprise, the funny photos and videos started the first night after we installed the camera.
‘We enjoyed seeing the birds visit during that first afternoon but later that night, the camera caught a cheeky raccoon stop by for a midnight snack.
‘The raccoon actually knocked the camera off its mount on the tree and the camera continued recording all night as raccoons, deer and skunks stopped by for a treat.’
There have been quite a few nocturnal visits since, she stated, and the creatures generally deliver their household and mates alongside.
‘We’ve had as many as 4 raccoons present up on any given evening – a mum and three infants.
‘The camera also once picked up a pair of turkeys – a male and a female – last year that I was hoping would become regular visitors, but we haven’t seen them since.’
‘We were also surprised to see a flying squirrel squatting in the bird feeder trough one night.
‘Though they are common squirrels in the eastern US, I’ve by no means seen one in our yard earlier than, so it was tremendous cool to see they’re hanging out in our neighborhood.’
Danae has amassed 1000’s of pictures and movies over the previous couple of years, however there’s one that basically stands out for her.
She stated: ‘I think my personal favorite is the photo of the deer that almost looks like a fish.
