January 2018 trail cam video 1 Akaso Filmed near Snohomish, Washington

Few interesting finds in this video:

- raccoons (first time, though certainly not the last time getting them on the trail cameras since getting trail cams).  Yes, they are confirmed to have a presence in my neighborhood and do appear on the cameras from time to time

- Note that Tucker (the golden retriever I had) passed away late November 2017 (died of old age / cancer long story short).  Since then our neighbor dogs (especially Hank the Black lab) have become regulars in the back yard and do often appear on camera.  Bound to keep some wildlife at bay.  Also, it is hard to put out food by the cameras in hopes of luring wildlife as sometimes Hank will get it instead - thus botching the attempts to lure out wildlife by the camera (such as raccoons, coyotes, etc).

- I believe I have caught my first owls on camera in the January 2018 footage.  2 of the footages show what looks like an animal flying in the fog.  When I did the "animals in the fog" video a few years back, I had assumed that most of the animals in the fog were rabbits.  However, upon closer examination, some of those "rabbits" seem to fly away.  Obviously rabbits can't fly, but then owls certainly can fly and sometimes I can hear owls hooting at night (especially during the winter months).  In my backyard, we get at least 2 kinds of resident owls: great horned owls and barred owls (barred owls are the ones that make the "who cooks for you..." type of noise when they are hooting).  Also towards the end of the video, there is an image of an animal looking right at the camera.  Most likely it is a rabbit, though it could also be a great horned owl as well (eyes look almost like that of an howl, and you can barely make out horns too).  Not saying it is an owl for sure, but it could be that.



Will do the remaining bushnell ones (some got mixed in with the akaso ones in this video) from January in a later video.  The goal is to get through all of the footage and convert them into videos (can also get rid of footage that yield little or no results too).
