We got an email last night from our granddaughter. Her garden last year was very good and she had high hopes for this season. Then, some of her plants inside a well-fenced area suddenly were leveled, eaten even. Not good. She used her trail camera to see the culprit. A healthy, well-fed bunny chomping away!! Somehow, he had found a set of wire snips and opened the fence enough. Ok, but he did gain unwanted entry.
Trail cameras show all sorts of things in Wisconsin: deer, raccoons, bears, rabbits, weasels, skunks, cranes. We even have the occasional cougar. I admit that it was unusual when a couple of fishermen reported a hippopotamus in the woods but that was a run-away for a local circus and an exception. We have many animals that we never saw in the big city. I have read that coyotes are found in many cities and that they are expert at finding food and avoiding detection.
Our granddaughter sent a link that let us play her bunny trail video. She used a Google Drive to host the file. Here is a link to a Google Drive that may let you see the slide tape that Lynn made in 1978 about our town of Stevens Point, Wisconsin. The video is more than 40 years old and the town has changed quite a bit since.
