Bobcat last night at the Desert Photo Retreat, near Tucson, Arizona.
Although we see our local pair on gray fox make the rounds and check out the bird feeders every evening – I have been generally surprised at the lack of other wildlife at night. I hoped, and suspected this had to do in large part with my game camera that now actually has javelina teeth holes in one of the sensors.
So last night I put out two brand new game cameras. Wow, there is a lot that goes on out here at night! The camera at the water hole captured the gray fox pair at 4 different times during the night. Plus, this bobcat who made himself at home. A great-horned owl stopped in for a bath. Plus, skunks, javelina even a small mouse.
I pointed the second camera at some hummingbird feeders and it showed a steady stream of bats coming in for a quick drink!
I will soon begin setting up remote triggers and flashes to capture more professional images of this activity – excited about all the possibilities!
