First, this funny sent to me by Libby K. . . . Ever since we moved into this house in June 2017, SOMEthing's been digging holes in our yards - front, side and back - looking for who-knows-what. After Hurricane Irma in September 2017, we had to remove a humongous oak tree, replacing it with three Bismarckia palms. We've not planted any ground cover yet, so the dirt/sand under them is quite loose. The hole-digging has become concentrated in that area . . . One hole was so big, we thought something was living in it. No matter how many times Neal raked and filled the holes, in a day or two they would be dug out again. A lightbulb truly went off above my head: Attach the trail camera to one of the Bismarckia palm's fronds, as they are quite stable, fill the holes, and film for a few nights. Naturally, for several nights, no new holes were dug. If I'd known hanging a camera outside would keep whatever-it-was from digging, I'd've hung it out there sooner, instead of having it on the dining room table for the past 11 months. Oh, we had the usual visitors: Squirrel (several times) . . . Little Blue Heron (several times) . . . Click the pic to watch him/her walking to the couryard in .m4v or .mov Blue Jay (several times) . . . Mr. Cardinal (several times) . . . Rabbit (several times) . . . . . . they are quite rare here because of alligators, hawks and coyotes. I think I've seen five in the nine years we've lived in FL. LBH again, deciding whether to walk into the courtyard for a lizard snack . . . LBH going after lizard in Cardboard Palm . . .
