Backyard Night Fishing Re-Visited (and Things that Go Bump in the Night)

Hi all,

Well, here we are again... Backyard night fishing - the hobby of trying to spot (better yet get a print screen of) a creature in our lower 40. So here are our latest catches:

Yeah, I know that none of the images will challenge the works of Ansel Adams, but there's honest to goodness fun there. And beyond the silliness, there's something more sublime...To watch this cam is to (for me anyway) reluctantly hope for some "thing" - some unknown creature that makes the house go "bump in the night." Possibly a flying squirrel, or possibly--who knows?

Speaking of possibilities, who would have thought it possible that we'd be over 22,000 hits on the backyard bird cam? 22,780, to be exact. I'd like to thank all of you who are watching, and remind you that once the hummingbirds are back (mid- to late April), you'll be seeing the hummingbird feeder in all its glory, with our usual quota of ruby-throats, instead of the distant shots of the bird feeder out back.

See you by the bird cam,
