Midnight at the Oasis

Hamster isn't the only critter that uses the back pond.


I've had the trail cam out there by the back pond, by day it captured images of Hamster and blowing vegetation (lots of blowing vegetation). At night the mammals come out. Like the Eastern Cottontail here.


Make that two Eastern Cottontails ... (insert math operator joke here).


Northern Raccoons are frequent nighttime visitors to the back pond. 


This cat has been seen before. And is not welcome. Grrr.

As someone who grew up watching Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom, I expected the pond to be a popular watering hole first thing in the morning. Yet that does not seem to be the case. Even prior to the deer fence, the trail cam did not record any early morning visitors. 

And now the camera has been relocated. Patty found this woodpecker activity earlier today. 


Hopefully I, and then you, will know what has been working this dead tree. Fingers crossed.
