I changed the location of the trail/game camera last night. And we figured out how to set the date/time! Yay!! I also moved the brooder with the 6 chicks to inside the chicken yard. Phwew! It used to sit on the right side of this photo, up near the fence.
We had more visitors last night and early morning...
12:41am: Chief (one of the barn cats) visited
12:48am: Chief, still visiting
1:08am: Raccoon, standing on hind legs... When I zoom into this photo, I think I see her boobies *giggle*
...what do you think?... Boobies?
5:47am: Raccoon returns
6:03am: Raccoon returns again...
6:08am: Raccoon, looks to be eating chick food on the ground where the brooder used to sit. You can start to see the tree line in the distance, where the sun will eventually rise.
6:37am: Junior (another barn cat) visits, and now the chickens are up and about.
6:38am: Junior off to see what he can see
Tonight, I think I'll try the video setting! Cool!
Racoon boobies.......LOL!!!! So funny! Your night shots are phenomenal, Anna!

Careful with the bandit! "Billy the Extermintor" almost got thrown off the roof this week. He caged one and it came at him and startled him enough to where he almost fell off! It was sorta funny. Thanks for sharing life on the farm. Getting so I call my husband and daughter into my domain/craft room to see your pictures. AND now a trail game camera...woo hoo!! Can't wait for the video!!

I love you being able to see what "goes on" at night - how cool! And I am totally LOL @ the raccoon's boobies - TOO FUNNY! I'm glad you put arrows there or I would have never noticed! Thanks for sharing such cool stuff with us. Life on the farm looks like a lot of fun, but I'm sure its hard work too. We just get to see the fun stuff!

Yahoo! The people in the game camera industry will be in your debt for the advertising! Another version of multi-tasking. Who says home security cant be fun!

Lovely, Mama Raccoon just eyeing some chicken treats, yep, she's making a plan. Sure glad you have Fort Knox there. Can't wait to see who else pays a visit.it would make me crazy knowing they are out there with my birds.. are you going to try to trap the beast?

Oh, I think that raccoon wants her some chicken awfully badly!!! :D Don't you know she's thinking "if I could just get in there, mmmmmm, what a feast I'd have"....and thank goodness for lots of protection!
The camera is so fun, I love seeing what you are capturing on it! Can't wait to see video of the predators, next time! :D
