20230218 Trail Cam 12 Bridges Preserve West Field

I have decided to start making journal entries of where I set my trail camera and the results. This is because I am starting to forget some of the places where I have had it set, although I can always go back and find them either on my computer where I have stored the photos, or on iNat.

I recovered the trail cam I had placed in the west field along the northwest creek in 12 Bridges Preserve on 12 February. The camera was placed on an opening in the reeds at what appeared to be a place where animals crossed the creek. And when I collected the camera there appeared to be a fresh small canid track in the mud, however, there were no canids in the pictures.

There were 118 photos taken over the six days. From these, I posted 6 observations, 4 of birds, one of a Muroid and one of a Black Tailed Jackrabbit. There were actually more birds and jackrabbits in the photos, but I did not post duplicates - maybe I should so as to better show the numbers seen. The jackrabbit and two of the bird species (doves, meadowlarks) appeared to be drinking water from the creek in some of the pictures.
