Hummingbird, playful kit, and overflowing possum!

I was outside and saw a hummingbird - so I set up the feeder and camera. The first visitor was NOT a hummingbird (not sure what bird it is - maybe Janie can tell me), but one did visit a little later. The fox kit was happily playing with its food - the vole that Bill provided!

The possum is getting so full that you can see some parts of the babies pushing out of the pouch!

Daylight raccoons, fox possum interaction, and a coyote

We didn't see the fox kits last night, but we had two raccoons in daylight. (Probably means that they are nursing - and want as much food as possible.) The fox wasn't sure about sharing with the possum. And, finally, a morning visit from a coyote!

Very pregnant possum, fox scares raccoon, possum ignores fox!

A very pregnant possum walked by the shed. The fox scares off the raccoon, but has met its match with the possum. Still lots of fox family activity overnight.

Shed, trays, and pregnant possum

All the animals make it to the shed and the food trays. Last night there was a pregnant possum - you can see the bulge in her pouch!

Bird Box - 5 Eggs

There was the "normal" traffic of raccoons, possums and foxes overnight.

The bird box nest makes it very difficult to see what has been happening.

The nest is build with material blocking the camera, BUT I got a clear shot of 5 eggs!

(No video today.)

Two foxes, three possums, kits and possum, then four deer!

The title says it all. Two adult foxes, three possums, two kits coming face to face with a possum. Four deer, and finally a fox jumping off the shed roof in daylight - not sure how it got up there!

Foxes reducing the squirrel population

Some of our neighbors would like the squirrel population reduced - well the foxes have made a start! I didn't notice the raccoon when I closed the door - but it heard it!! The raccoon and fox kit didn't seem bothered by each other during the night. We woke up this morning to the fox family playing.
