Trail camera pics

1 Comment by

After a couple weeks of nothing but pictures of moving branches at the normal camera locations we re-evaluated where the cameras ought to be.  There were lots of tracks in the yard, but they weren’t coming down the normal trails…

So we moved the cameras, and in the process discovered why Apollo keeps getting pissed in that direction after dark (sorry for the 2011 dates, apparently I forgot to set the year last time I changed the batteries on one of the cameras):

 

Can someone please explain to me why this f*cking cat is still around?  He killed the Harris’s Sparrow yesterday, I’m voting for the coyotes….

 

There are definetly deer around though:

 

And some big guy with these two dogs keeps walking infront of my cameras….I wonder who he is? 😉

Now all of the above are common to the area, though I’ve never actually seen the Grosbeaks before, but this last little guy is highly uncommon to the area, he’s a Harris’s Sparrow.  Infact he’s so rare, that when I reported my sighting I got an email asking me to send my pictures so they could verify my ID!

Theme update

So I ran the theme update this morning, its been pending for a couple days but I prefer to do it when I have at least a little time to play with it.  It mostly went smoothly, except now the menu headers in the side columns are funky.  Sorry about that.  Looks like I have a project for the next few days….

 

Edited: And that ended up being an easy fix.  Cool!

By the time it hit us it really wasn’t all that bad.  Bad winter storm bad, but not storm of the year bad.  We didn’t loose power, though some of the surrounding areas have, mostly due to falling trees and branches.  The extent of our damage so far: having to go out and re-tarp the firewood as all but one tarp was half loose and fluttering away in the gusting wind.  At least none of them blew away….

The pictures coming from the coast are more than a little scary, and I was, again, impressed by the stupidity of human kind (what parent allows teenage girls to wander flooded dark streets at 11pm??), and thats without including the guy who went swimming at 10pm in the floodwaters, I never did hear if they found his body or not.

The green dot is the current prediction for 2pm on Oct 31st.

 

 

Bleh.  We’re pretty much good to go.  Wish we’d been able to put in battery backups on the solar system, or pick up a generator, just in case, but otherwise we’re set.  Don’t even need ice (the frozen raw dog food will work just fine).
