Nope they stay totally out of it. I have it hanging 2 feet from the hive the yj's were attacking.

Hey Mitch!! Summer is back in down here!!! Did your snow melt away?

 

[MitchM]

Yep, snow's all gone Colleen.

Good to hear, and I see your evening temperature quite warm and pleasant right now, and it is very nice here as well tonight, I am at 21 degrees after midnight, and your at 16 degrees Celsius, that is what your temperature says above.... I am still outside playing in my Haunted Gazebo having a glass of wine.

Actually, I found a foot of snow behind the house where it had fallen off the roof.

Looks like we have a hot week ahead of us. All the leaves and grasses are turning yellow pretty quick now.
I'm looking forward to seeing your halloween display again this year.

That is incredible to see!! She is a beauty moose, and have you ever had and close encounters? Thanks for sharing.

Wow neat shots!

Lisa, the picture that is my avatar is a couple of moose standing in our goldfish pond, which is about 30 feet from our front door.
We've had a big cougar saunter through our front yard and moose eat some lilacs on our front deck.
Other than that, the wildlife pretty much keeps it's distance from us and we don't go exploring much in the undeveloped areas.
We also try to keep our yard free from attractants when bears would be fattening up for the winter.

Awesome Mitch! I love moose. I wish I would of had my camera when the moose was by my pond!

 

[addy1]

I love moose.

So do I! We have little moose here.................the white tail type. ie deer

 

[MitchM]

There were a lot of shots of white tail deer too, plus a shot of that American Marten we saw last year but I thought it might be too small to see in a picture here.
I'm trying the trail cams in different locations next to see what else is on our property.

 

[MitchM]

Actually, maybe I'll put that American Marten picture up anyways.
Hopefully you can see him in the centre of the picture.

 

[addy1]

Sure can, thanks how long do they record for? Before they run out of storage?
