Blacktail doe and fawn crossing Adobe Creek.

Mountain lion or bobcat?  The distinctive tail is not visible.
This animal is traversing same deer path crossing Adobe Creek as the mountain lion photographed last month.

Two images of skunks on Camera #2 in the middle of the Lafferty property. 
We got literally hundreds of photos of skunks at this location this month, after seeing very few in previous months.

This shot was taken at night, as were most of the photos of these nocturnal animals. Its fur is matted from rain.

This is the rare daylight shot of a skunk. Not sure why it is blurry -- they don't move very fast.

Two daytime images of a bobcat. We frequently see it/them on this trail, always traveling down the mountain. This suggests there is another trail used for uphill.

Opossum.  First we've seen.

Once again, no feral pigs were photographed in this early January 2024 period.

We changed camera settings to capture video in addition to still photos.  We'll see the results next month.
