First wild critter to be caught on cam….infrared camera which is motion activated. Would like to get it to trigger a little earlier, so angled it more southfacing slightly. Had to change the camera position several times to a) keep from filming all the squirrels and b) keep from filming all the trucks that drive by. Coyotes here overnight (~4:30 am) for drinks at the pond, maybe a vole or mole? Probably also to stalk outdoor cats, though they’ve been pretty effective at keeping those out….no cat sightings for many moons now, thanks to them. Lots of “cat missing” signs for a while, they’re not missing, we know exactly where they went.
Also, a few bulbs coming up: mostly more Brodiaea, but also the Camas Cuseckii, or light blue Camas. I hope it recovers from whatever was making it fail in its former spot, and blessses us with blooms soon. Also hopefully deer won’t eat it. Few Trillium Chloropetalum coming up, including the deep maroon one (Kirabayashi).
