Nocturnal creatures

I have more than enough night time beasties wandering thru my yard. I get my chicken at the local grocery store. Neighbor about five miles west of me had his bee hives shredded by black bears.

Between 2.30 and 3.30 every morning something runs across our front deck, guessing it is either a fox or feral cat, could be a possum but unlikely and pretty sure it's not a turtle.

I've had foxes turn on our drive way motion light at night when they crossed our yard.

The feral cats do ours, we give them a little food each night, not enough to make them lazy but enough to make them stay and enjoy the rats and mice, so far it's working.

^^^^ We like having the feral cats around. The feed bowl is always full for them.

Security cams indicate an occasional possum or coon also.

I leave the tick eating possums alone...but the coons try to get into everything!

Trail cam!

My neighbour has a large avocado orchard, and something/s was doing severe damage to some newly replaced trees. We suspected feral pigs, trail-cam confirmed it, big trap then set up, and problem solved.

Then some time later, their deck was being visited in the wee small hours. From the still shot extracted from the video, note the time - 2:40am:

We ran a dairy, beef, hogs, poultry. When I was 4, the steers were out; but it was after dark, coming home from a theater, drive in the yard with the headlights on and the dmn things were peering around the sheds in the dark. Strange things come out at night.
