Backyard Nighttime Spring Nature in New Jersey.

The raccoon eats an apple without going into the trap. Need to try again, but with the food tied down so the critter needs to enter the trap.

Backyard Wintertime Nature in New Jersey.

One of the Many Squirrels Free Loading in My Attic. There were five nests and I had to replace all of the insulation in the attic and the wiring that they chewed through. Don’t know why they didn’t get electrocuted, and glad they didn’t start a fire. I wasn’t allowed to drop him/her off at the local nature preserve, but somewhere 5 miles away from the house. Image taken with a Leica T camera and 18-56 mm lens (ISO 100, 20 mm, f/4.2, 1/80 sec).
