Raccoon and Possum Truce.
The raccoons and the possums have a truce. Both a raccoon and a possum came out early in the evening in daylight. The two possums and two raccoons shared - and one of the possums is ENORMOUS. The deer passed through and the fox came along in the snow - but too late for food.

The fox against the world!
This fox scared off the raccoons and possums - the raccoons climb up the trees. Its then very aggressive to the possum, but finally losses when the big raccoon and the possum combine forces!!

Fox, raccoon and deer
The fox seemed to think that if it didn't look at the raccoon it wasn't there! I suspect the deer heard a dog, which is why they ran.

Raccoons rule (again)!
I think the raccoons watched my video of "possums rule" the other day, as they decided to take back control! Daylight raccoon, three raccoons face off a possum, and then a gang of four!

Nest Building.
The nest building is going well. Yesterday the nest material was blocking the camera, but the birds seem to have decided they want to be on video!

Daylight Animals
Yesterday we had daylight visitors. The deer came through a couple of times. There are three hawks living in the area - making a lot of noise. And even the raccoon came out before dark.
The sparrows are still building their nest in the new bird box.

New Bird Box
I put a brand new bird box - with camera - yesterday afternoon. (The old one from last year had died!) Almost immediately it was occupied. Not the most exotic of birds - but it will still be fun to watch the eggs and hatching.
This camera has a microphone - so we will get sound!

The raccoons and the fox seemed to be playing tag - not sure who is the most afraid!

Hawk Hunting
This morning the chipmunk was eating by the shed when the hawk swooped in! The chipmunk ran under the shed and escaped. (The chipmunk is very small in the center of the video and in the still shot.)

Possums Rule!
Possums Rule! This little possum just walked up to the fox! Early this morning, one was out for a drink. Nothing, well maybe a coyote, seems to scare the possums.

Sharing- almost!
It was a sharing night - almost! The possums and raccoons shared, but the raccoon and fox were not so sure, as was the raccoon and deer!

Daylight possum and raccoon.
The possum and the raccoon came by in daylight and in the rain! Later, the possum was enjoying some bread - possums really seem to like bread! The deer were to late to find any food.

Raccoon and Rabbit
We don't often see the rabbits when any other animals are around - but this rabbit appeared while the raccoon was still there.

Something smelt good - off to the party!
Clearly, something smelt good to the possum, so it went and joined the party!

Time to Leave!
This deer seems to be in-charge - telling (by kicking) the others it is time to leave!!

Raccoon and deer encounter.
The raccoon and the deer were together for quite a while - but near the end they suddenly seemed to take notice of each other. 'What are YOU?"
