From June through September we had over 600 photos hit on the camera trap! As per usual, most of those were squirrels, then wind, then deer; but we did have a dozens of photos of raccoons and opossums, and even a few coyotes!
Our cameras experienced some technical difficulty this summer, but I was able to snag the following two pictures!
As a participant in the Atlanta Coyote Project’s Trail Camera program, it is always exciting when we find them on our camera behind the school. They worked with Georgia Public Broadcasting on this fantastic documentary: https://www.gpb.org/television/show/georgia-outdoors/extras/urban-coyotes. Coyotes are more important to our environment than most people understand.
And this mystery animal may have been a coyote. What do you think?
Last we also caught a Barred Owl, Deer (many more pictures were not included), lots of Doggies, a Kid, and a very photogenic Squirrel.
I deleted hundreds of deer pictures, below are four that stood out to me as worth keeping, but did find one mystery animal below that! Any guesses?
Not a lot to look at this month! I think the heat and humidity got to all the critters too, that or they were sheltering in place :-)
I didn’t do a great job getting the camera set up over the winter :-( but I did get these great shots of a coyote at the end or February.
The cover photo for this month is of a harmless Southeastern Crown Snake (at about 8” long it could be full grown) found on the steps to the Nature Trail.
A couple of weeks back, I think during 3rd grade specials, a deer walked past my window at the school. Of course we had to stop and the 20 kids all got to try and get a look at him. Some of the annex teachers and classes saw him as well. Our trail camera was in on the action too. Below is every single picture from the month. Often we get a lot of pictures with just rustling leaves, but most pictures this month had something super obvious, including one evening with a coyote. Enjoy!
Other than a few mystery animals, there wasn’t a lot of action on the cameras over the hot hot summer. Can you figure out what these are?!
This dog is looking for critters too!
Can you spot the bunny?
This Trash Panda missed the dog by about 4 hours.
Please keep your cats indoors. They are monsters to songbirds :-(
And of course, “Nemesis”.
This month we are looking at six different stories!
Read more143 pictures. 9 of those were deer, 6 were rabbits, about 12 were various birds, mostly robins. The rest were squirrels. Or maybe one squirrel 116 times. I’ll name him ‘Nemesis’. Here are the best 4!
