If anyone would like a diversion, here is a camera trap picture of a groundhog at my parents' house a few years ago. #BackyardWildlife #Groundhog #Woodchuck #WildlifeCamera #Distractodon

This is Tiny, one of the raccoons that lives near my house. Tiny is most easily recognizable because one of her eyes does not glow in nighttime camera footage. She can also be identified by her ears, which are particularly close-set on the top of her head and have some notches.

I first saw Tiny last summer, when she visited the yard a few times while she was clearly nursing a litter of kits. She was very small, and I was worried about whether she would make it since she seemed underweight.

She has continued to visit the yard periodically. Earlier this year, she showed up in the yard with her tongue sticking out, as if she might have some kind of jaw injury. She was a lot bigger than when I first saw her, though, so she seemed to be eating enough.

She's come by the yard the last two nights for snacks. Last night, I caught her in the crabapple tree eating fruit. She looks fantastic – very big and fluffy for winter!

Lawna, the groundhog who lives under my parents’ porch, teaches interpretive dance on Wednesdays. #Roundhog #Groundhog #Woodchuck #Whistlepig #BackyardWildlife #WildlifeCamera #TrailCam #CameraTrap #WesternMassachusetts

I think... I think there was just an otter in my yard?!? Is that what this is? I've never seen a wild otter!

(Link is to a short YouTube video of an animal – an otter, I guess! – in a yard, approaching a water bowl, and then loping away. The video was taken with a wildlife camera)

Lawna, the groundhog who lives under my parents’ porch, is too talented for words. #Roundhog #Groundhog #Woodchuck #Whistlepig #BackyardWildlife #WildlifeCamera #TrailCam #CameraTrap #WesternMassachusetts

Big day at my parents’ house.

(Media description: Video of three wild turkeys, taken with a wildlife camera. At the start of the video, an adult turkey is poking around by the back door of a house. A second adult turkey, close to the camera, walks across the yard, with a baby turkey close to it. All three turkeys convene near the stairs.)

Here are some still shots of the bobcat.
